Background—Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy has been established as an independent risk
factor for cardiovascular disease in adults. Recent research has refined this relationship by …

Objective. To determine the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in a multiethnic
group of children and adolescents with hypertension. Design/Methods. Pooled data from …

Left ventricular hypertrophy is often found in association with systemic hypertension and
may be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. Few …

Left ventricular (LV) structural alterations were associated with increased cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality in a middle-aged and older population. The aim of this study was to …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether casual blood pressure (BP) or ambulatory BP monitoring
(ABPM) measurements obtained at the initial visit of a child with confirmed hypertension …

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

Left ventricular hypertrophy has been shown to be an independent predictor of
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Few studies have examined the determinants of left …

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an abnormal increase in left ventricular mass. which is
a marker for and contributes to coronary events, stroke, heart failure, peripheral arterial …

To assess racial difference in cardiac responses to elevated blood pressure, we compared
echocardiographic measurements of left ventricular (LV) mass and the wall thickness to …

Left ventricular (LV) size in childhood closely parallels body size, whereas in adulthood LV
mass is increasingly affected by effects of obesity, hypertension, the level of cardiac volume …
