Objective: To evaluate regression of experimental left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in terms
of its effects both on myocardial collagen levels and on diastolic stiffness. Methods: Two …

To determine whether regression of hypertensive hypertrophy through blood pressure
control also involves left ventricular collagen and consecutive alterations in left ventricular …

Pathological left ventricular hypertrophy in renovascular hypertension is associated with the
accumulation of fibrillar collagen within the extracellular space and around intramyocardial …

Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is the structural adaptation of the heart in response to
chronic LV pressure load. Studies in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), which …

It has been much discussed whether left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in hypertension
implies improved or impaired cardiac performance, mainly because experiments in various …

Progressive myocardial fibrosis, including the accumulation of collagen within the adventitia
of intramyocardial coronary arteries, is seen in the hypertrophied rat myocardium secondary …

Objective: In left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) due to systemic hypertension, myocardial
fibrosis is an important determinant of pathologic hypertrophy. Therefore, it is most relevant …

Objective: Myocardial fibrosis is an important determinant of pathological hypertrophy. In two
experimental models of arterial hypertension the purpose of the study was (a) to determine …

Objective: This study was undertaken to determine the biochemical and left ventricular
functional changes associated with reversal of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in …

Left ventricular hypertrophy is an adaptive response to long standing hypertension.
However, the influence of left ventricular hypertrophy with hypertension on extent of infarct …
