Background—Increased left ventricular (LV) mass predicts an adverse outcome in patients
with essential hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between …

Background: It is uncertain whether reduction of left ventricular (LV) mass during
antihypertensive treatment predicts reduces cardiovascular complications of hypertension …

OBJECTIVES This study investigated the prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) mass at
echocardiography in uncomplicated subjects with essential hypertension. BACKGROUND …

The detection of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy on echocardiography is a powerful risk
indicator in essential hypertension. However, the prognostic impact of LV mass values within …

ContextIncreased baseline left ventricular (LV) mass predicts cardiovascular (CV)
complications of hypertension, but the relation between lower LV mass and outcome during …

Background: Some studies have suggested that serial changes in left ventricular (LV) mass
in hypertensive subjects predict the subsequent risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of …

To evaluate the prognostic impact of left ventricular (LV) mass exceeding individual needs to
compensate hemodynamic load, the percentage of excess of echocardiographic LV mass in …

Inappropriate left ventricular mass (LVM; ie, the value of LVM exceeding individual needs to
compensate hemodynamic load) predicts the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events …

Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic value of changes in left
ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients with time. Design: Two hundred and fifteen …

To determine the independent prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) mass and
geometry (concentric vs eccentric pattern) in hypertensive subjects with LV hypertrophy at …
