BACKGROUND Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a well-known target organ damage.
Concentric hypertrophy is the strongest predictor of increased risk of cardiovascular events …

Background: Arterial hypertension (AHT) is the leading preventable cause of death
worldwide. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is one of the most important prognostic …

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 Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with hypertension is a
significant risk factor for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. However, the prognostic …

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy is an important predictor of cardiovascular risk
and its detection contributes to risk stratification. However, echocardiography is not a routine …

Background The prognostic relevance of echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy
(LVH) regression in hypertension is uncertain. The aim of this study was to perform an …

Background—Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH; high LV mass [LVM]) is traditionally
classified as concentric or eccentric based on LV relative wall thickness. We evaluated the …

Aim: We sought to assess the long-term changes in left ventricular (LV) mass in a population-
based sample, focusing on new onset, persistence, regression and severity of LV …

Background: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an important predictor of cardiovascular
risk, and its detection contributes to risk stratification. The aims of the present study were to …

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