The Etiology of LVH - A Review Of Genetic Predispositions
… "complex" trait of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). LVH can be defined as increased LV mass in relation to body size. The geometric pattern of this increased LV mass in LVH is important.7 In response to pressure overload from conditions like hypertension, there is increased LV wall thickness …

The roles of genetics and glycaemic control in the development of LVH and Heart Failure in Type 2 Diabetes
… Not everyone with diabetes develops either LVH or HF, proposed factors influencing this include glycaemic control and genetic factors. No studies to date have looked at the genetics of LVH and HF specifically in T2DM.This thesis investigates the importance of glycaemic control and genetic …

Allopurinol Regresses Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) is common in Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) and despite optimal treatment of blood pressure can still persist. We know LVH is a cardiovascular (CV) risk factor in its own right and contributes to high CV event rates in patients with T2DM. Apart from hypertension, other …

Prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy in peripheral arterial disease and its relation to blood pressure
… the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) inpatients with newly diagnosed peripheral arterial disease (PAD).<br/><br/>Methods: Consecutive patients referred for the first time for assessment of PAD with a history of intermittent claudication and ankle brachial pressure of index of ≤0.9 …

Metabolic support in left ventricular hypertrophy
… To examine the metabolic changes associated with LVH secondary to AS, to examine the role of GIK as an adjunct to myocardial protection during AVR, and to examine the mechanism of its action. Methods: 220 patients with LVH secondary to AS were randomised 1:1 to receive an infusion of GIK at the …

Cardiovascular Effects of Metformin on Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Nondiabetic Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is highly prevalent in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) irrespective, of blood pressure (BP) and is associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events including myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke and …

The Effect of Allopurinol on Left Ventricular Mass in Patients with Treated Essential Hypertension
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) confers a high cardiovascular risk independent of blood pressure. It is prevalent in hypertensive patients even when the blood pressure is controlled, and LVH regression has prognostic benefit. Residual risk remains in well controlled hypertension and therefore …

Prevalence of Cardiomyopathy in Apparently Healthy Cats
… long-axis planes. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was defined as an end-diastolic wall thickness greater than or equal to 6 mm. Cats with LVH but without left ventricular dilation were considered to have hypertrophic CM (HCM). Cardiomyopathy was identified in 16 cats (15.5%; 95% CI: [9.2, …

Impact of Dialysis Modality on Left Ventricular Geometry in End Stage Renal Disease Patients
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed to evaluate impact of dialysis modality on LV geometry by using echocardiography. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated change …

Dapagliflozin Regresses Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in People with Type 2 Diabetes
… is regression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH); an independent predictor of cardiovascular events including incident heart failure.<br/><br/>We tested the hypothesis that dapagliflozin may regress LVH in people with T2D.<br/><br/>We randomly assigned 66 people (mean age 67 +/- 7 years, 38 …

The impact of erythropoietin on uraemic cardiomyopathy
… including left ventricular hypertrophy LVH), which contribute to heart failure. Erythropoietin (EPO) has evolutionised the treatment of the anaemia associated with CKD. The discovery that the EPO receptor is also expressed on cardiomyocytes highlights a role of EPO beyond haematopoiesis. …

The Effects of Glucose Tolerance, Hypertension, and Race on Heart Rate Variability, QT Interval Duration, and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Overweight-Obese Adolescents
… measures for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) to body mass index (BMI), relative body mass index (RBMI), and blood pressure (BP) measures, and to examine the effects of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), hypertension, and race on these cardiac autonomic risk factors in overweight-obese …

A Quantitative Analysis of the Role of Antihypertensive Drug Dose on Hypertension in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease
… vs. presence left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), considered a long-term sequela of uHTN. A multivariate logistic regression model was developed including relevant covariates. cRDI was not found to be significantly associated with uHTN or LVH, and therefore dose expressed as cRDI may be an …

THE UTILITY OF PULSE PRESSURE MEASURED BY RADIAL ARTERIAL TONOMETRY IN DETERMINING CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN ADULTS
… adjusting for covariates excluding LVM, ECG LVH or incident MI. After adjusting for LVM or ECG LVH, the association between PPr and incident CHF was no longer significant. There is no additional benefit in measuring PPr over PPb in assessing the sequela of arterial stiffness. However, in …

The prevalence, profile, and prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: A South African tertiary hospital experience
… inversion (38.1%), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) (16.7%) and left bundle branch block (LBBB) (11.9%). Atrial fibrillation (2.4%) and atrial flutter (2.4%) were uncommon. The main echocardiographic abnormalities were concentric LVH (81.0%), left atrial enlargement (45.2%) and evidence of …

Redefinition of uraemic cardiomyopathy with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
… including left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), LV dilatation and LV systolic dysfunction. However, echocardiography makes assumptions regarding LV geometry, which is frequently distorted in patients with ESRD. Furthermore any errors in measurements are amplified by the changes in hydration …

Myocardial insulin resistance in experimental uraemia
… disease (CKD). Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a significant contributing factor to uraemic cardiomyopathy and results in significant molecular, cellular and metabolic remodelling. Progression of LVH leads to the development of insulin resistance, a feature common to CKD and heart …
