The reduction of echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) mass and the change toward a less
concentric geometry during antihypertensive treatment are independently associated with a …

Left ventricular (LV) mass and geometry predict risk for cardiovascular events in
hypertension. Regression of LV hypertrophy (LVH) may imply an important prognostic …

Background Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), as well as the geometry pattern of the left
ventricle, is believed to be an independent risk factor for hypertension. The present study …

Background Patients with hypertension have different types of left ventricular (LV) geometry,
but the impact of blood pressure (BP) reduction on LV geometry change during …

This study assesses and evaluates left ventricular (LV) contractile function after treatment of
hypertension, with an emphasis on LV midwall mechanics. Although prior studies have …

Aims Less is known about the relation between in-treatment left ventricular (LV) geometry
and risk of cardiovascular events. We assessed LV geometric patterns on baseline and …

Aim. To compare the effects of four antihypertensive drugs, which have reportedly different
effectiveness in reducing myocardial mass. Methods. A randomized, double-blind …

Echocardiographically determined left ventricular mass (LVM) is currently considered to be
the most powerful risk indicator for cardiovascular disease, yielding prognostic information …

Aims Remodelling of the left ventricle (LV) is associated with adverse cardiovascular events,
but the mechanisms of these effects remain undefined. We investigated the relationship of …

PURPOSE: Antihypertensive medications have different effects on left ventricular mass. We
conducted a meta-analysis of double-blind trials that measured the effects of …
