Echocardiography is one of the most commonly performed noninvasive diagnostic tests in
patients with known or suspected cardiovascular diseases. Echocardiography provides …

PURPOSE: Antihypertensive medications have different effects on left ventricular mass. We
conducted a meta-analysis of double-blind trials that measured the effects of …

OBJECTIVES We sought to characterize the predictors of incident congestive heart failure
(CHF), as determined by central adjudication, in a community-based elderly population …

Objective To compare the efficacy of indapamide sustained release (SR) 1.5 mg and
enalapril 20 mg at reducing left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in hypertensive patients with …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antihypertensive efficacy of
hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) by ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring. Background …

Background This is the first update of a review published in 2010. While calcium channel
blockers (CCBs) are often recommended as a first‐line drug to treat hypertension, the effect …

Background—The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic value of novel
repolarization descriptors from the 12-lead ECG in a large cohort of US veterans. Methods …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Thiazide diuretics (TD), including thiazide-type
(chlorothiazide and hydrochlorothiazide) and thiazide-like diuretics (indapamide and …

Recently, serious concerns have been expressed about the long-term safety of the calcium
channel blockers (CCBs) as a group. Safety and efficacy are, however, ultimately linked to …

The reduction of echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) mass and the change toward a less
concentric geometry during antihypertensive treatment are independently associated with a …
