The long-term effects of hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula (AVF) closure on left ventricular
(LV) morphology are unknown. Using echocardiography, we prospectively studied 17 …

Background: Relative wall thickness (RWT), defined as 2 times posterior wall thickness
divided by the left ventricular (LV) diastolic diameter, is a measure of LV geometry and may …

The study aim was to quantify the individual and combined contributions of both the arterial
system and the heart to systolic blood pressure in hypertension. We assessed the …

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 …

Background Echocardiographically determined left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a
marker of cardiovascular disease related to prognosis and clinical outcomes. We sought to …

The objective of this study was to evaluate diastolic parameters and left ventricular geometry
in gestational hypertension. Twenty-one consecutive pregnant women with gestational …

Objectives. We sought to better understand the effects of aging and gender on left ventricular
(LV) structure and function. Background. Cardiovascular disease in older persons is …

Hypertension is a well-recognized risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease,
and the early detection of cardiac changes from hypertension can allow reversing these …

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 …
