Abstract Philipps University of Marburg, Marburg, Germany According to the Framingham
Study, arterial hypertension and coronary artery disease are the major etiologic factors in the …

Based on the epidemiologic data of the Framingham heart study, arterial hypertension and
coronary artery disease are the most frequent etiologic factors for the development of heart …

In chronic heart failure, various regulatory systems including the Frank-Starling mechanism,
the neuro-hormonal response, cardiac growth and peripheral oxygen delivery may be …

The Framingham heart study has shown that arterial hypertension is the major aetiological
factor for the development of heart failure. In the presence of heart failure, various regulatory …

The interaction of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and cardiac growth is of
great interest in chronic heart failure. The pressure or volume overloaded heart shows a …

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors have proven to be uniquely effective in inducing
regression, or preventing the occurrence, of ventricular hypertrophy associated with …

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a common finding in hypertension and represents a
detrimental outcome since it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. For similar …

Hypertension is associated with cardiac hypertrophy, which is a structural adaptation of the
heart in order to attenuate the systolic stress on the left ventricle. As cardiac myocytes cannot …

To determine the impact of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system on left ventricular
function and structure, 36 untreated patients with essential hypertension (WHO class I and II) …
