OBJECTIVES.: We examined the prognostic significance of concentric remodeling of the left
ventricle in patients with essential hypertension and normal left ventricular mass on …

Left ventricular (LV) mass and geometry predict risk for cardiovascular events in
hypertension. Regression of LV hypertrophy (LVH) may imply an important prognostic …

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

Early identification of left ventricular (LV) structural changes may have an impact on the
outlook of patients with essential hypertension. Of 669 untreated hypertensive subjects, 496 …

In hypertensive populations, left ventricular (LV) geometry, which is characterized by
hypertrophy, predicts cardiovascular outcome. The left ventricle can also alter its shape by …

Aims Less is known about the relation between in-treatment left ventricular (LV) geometry
and risk of cardiovascular events. We assessed LV geometric patterns on baseline and …

Background: The prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) concentric remodeling in essential
hypertension, and particularly in uncomplicated mild hypertension, is not yet completely …

Objectives: In 2010, the Dallas Heart Study proposed an upgrade of the left ventricular
geometric classification proposed in 1991, by using left ventricular mass combined with end …

Abnormal left ventricular (LV) geometry, including LV hypertrophy (LVH), is associated with
increased risk of major cardiovascular (CV) events and all-cause mortality and may be an …

Objective: To assess the prognostic significance of left ventricular mass and geometry in
initially healthy persons with essential hypertension. Design: An observational study of a …
