Objectives. We sought to determine the efficacy of isradipine in reducing left ventricular (LV)
mass and wall thickness in hypertensive patients. Background. LV hypertrophy on the …

Obesity and hypertension independently promote pathological left ventricular remodelling
(LVR) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), but to what extent they do so when they do not …

The effects of nifedipine SR and lacidipine on blood pressure, left ventricular (LV)
hypertrophy, and diastolic function were evaluated in 15 male patients (mean age of 45±8 …

Hypertension (HTN) is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD)
morbidity and mortality. The left ventricle (LV) is a primary target for HTN end-organ damage …

These studies were undertaken to evaluate different manifestations of structural
cardiovascular changes and the effects of antihypertensive therapy in essential …

Objective To evaluate whether lower stroke volume during antihypertensive treatment is a
predictor of cardiovascular events independent of left ventricular geometric pattern. Methods …

Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic value of changes in left
ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients with time. Design: Two hundred and fifteen …

Background and hypothesis: Systemic hypertension is the leading cause of left ventricular
(LV) hypertrophy. The present study aimed to investigate the mechanism of left atrial (LA) …

Left ventricular (LV) concentric remodelling is an adaptive change in cardiac geometry
frequently observed in arterial hypertension. This study was addressed to investigate the …

Objectives: In 2010, the Dallas Heart Study proposed an upgrade of the left ventricular
geometric classification proposed in 1991, by using left ventricular mass combined with end …
