Objective: To evaluate whether left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients is
associated with a greater impairment of sympathovagal balance assessed by means of …

Objectives. We tested the prognostic value of a new electrocardiographic (ECG) method
(Perugia score) for diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in essential hypertension …

Left ventricular hypertrophy, one of the main target organ damage occurring in hypertension,
is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality (1-3) …

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between subclinical left
ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and ECG parameters in newly diagnosed hypertension …

Methods The entire study population consisted of 189 healthy subjects (mean age, 39.6
years) and 54 subjects with hypertension (mean age, 52.4 years). The TOD-free subgroup …

Background Left ventricle (LV) diastolic dysfunction for a long time had been associated with
its hypertrophy. But recent studies have demonstrated that it is more associated with LV …

To study the relationship between assessment of blood pressure (BP) variability measured
by continuous measurement (Finapres) or discontinuous ambulatory (ABPM Spacelabs) in …

Objective Central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) and augmentation index (Aix) can be
evaluated in office and also in ambulatory condition, during 24-h monitoring. The aim of our …

To evaluate the impacts of ambulatory pulse pressure (PP) and office PP on left ventricular
