The effect of allopurinol on left ventricular mass in haemodialysis patients
… patients with end stage renal disease. Increased left ventricular mass (LVM) is strongly associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Reduction of LVM may improve outcomes. Allopurinol has reduced LVM in randomised controlled trials in chronic kidney disease, diabetes and ischaemic …

Determinants of left ventricular mass as measured by Doppler echocardiography in pre-adolescents
… factors contributing to the differences in left ventricular mass as measured by Doppler echocardiography in children. Fourteen boys (10.3 ± 0.3 years of age) and 1 1 girls (10.5 ± 0.4 years of age) participated in the study. Height and weight were measured, and relative body fat was …

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 …

Aortic Valve Replacement: The Influence of Prosthesis-Patient Mismatch for Left Ventricular Remodeling, Cardiac Function and Survival
… prosthesis hemodynamics with secondary impaired left ventricular remodeling. Nevertheless, an increasing number of studies with various study designs and outcomes present conflicting results. Thus, there is no convincing evidence for PPM’s detrimental effects. The aims of this research were to …

The impact of vascular calcification on ambulatory and central aortic blood pressure in a South African dwelling dialysis population : a clinical, radiological and pathophysiological study of vascular health in a young prevalent dialysis population in a developing country
… on central aortic systolic pressure (CASP) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in South African dialysis patients. ... Black race significantly protects from VC in South African CKD-5D patients and warrants further study. The AXR is a useful screening tool for CCS in our population. VC does …

The impact of morbid obesity on cardiac structure and function in pregnancy
… women than in pregnant women of normal body mass index (BMI). Methods: This prospective cohort study was performed in two referral maternity units in Cape Town, South Africa, over a 3-month period. Forty morbidly obese pregnant women (BMI ≥40 kg.m⁻²) (Group O) were compared to 40 pregnant …

Prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy in peripheral arterial disease and its relation to blood pressure
Objectives: To assess 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 …

Dapagliflozin Regresses Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in People with Type 2 Diabetes
… that may explain this benefit 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 …

MOLECULAR DISSECTION OF CARDIOMYOPATHY
… patients had more fibrosis but smaller indexed left ventricular mass. While in DCM, 10.7% Singapore cases carried TTN truncating variants and another 10% carried pathogenic HCM variants suggesting burnt-out HCM. Non-truncating TTN variants along TTN Z-disk were enriched in Singapore DCM cases. …

The Effect of Heart Rate on Normal and Abnormal QRS Voltage
… of cardiac chambers, particularly the left ventricle. The electrocardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular enlargement is primarily based upon increase in the QRS voltage in conventional limb and precordial leads. | Admittedly, the usage of increase in voltage for diagnosis of left …

Left ventricular structure in children with developmental coordination disorder
… motor coordination. This study examined left ventricular mass (LVM) in children with p-DCD (n=63) and controls (n=63). LVM was measured using echocardiography. Body composition was determined using BOD POD and peak oxygen uptake (peak V02) was measured by a progressive exercise test. …

Using B-type natriuretic peptide and whole body contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging to detect asymptomatic cardiovascular disease and improve prediction of risk of cardiovascular disease: the TASCFORCE Study
… angiography. The images were analysed to measure left ventricular mass (LVM), left ventricular volumes and left ventricular function. These were indexed for body size using height, height<sup>1.7</sup>, height<sup>2.7</sup> and body surface area. Angiogram images were analysed for the presence and …

Adjuncts to the Conventional 12-Lead ECG: Assessment of High-Frequency QRS Components and Additional Leads
… the amplitude of HF-QRS correlates to the left ventricular mass. This has been shown to be the case in previous studies in rabbits. Our study, however, showed that analysis of HF-QRS is no better than analysis of standard 12-lead ECG for determination of left ventricular mass. In Study III, …

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 …

Evaluation of alterations in cardiovascular structure and function in end-stage renal failure.
… with substantial associated increases in left and right ventricular volumes, left and right atrial area and left ventricular mass (12.7% increase, p<0.0001). Peripheral endothelial function was significantly impaired at follow-up (9.0 ±9% vs. 3.0 ±6%, p=0.01). No significant change in …

Die hämodynamische und klinische Funktion der Medtronic Mosaic Bioprothese in Aortenposition
… ± 0.2cm2/m2 (25mm) and 1.3 ± 0.1cm2/m2 (27mm). Left ventricular mass index decreased significantly from 159.7 ± 56.8g/m2 to 137.3 ± 40.8g/m2 for all sizes after one year. Conclusions: Clinical and hemodynamic performance of the Mosaic bioprosthesis was highly satisfactory during the first seven …

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 …

Exercise physiology and cardiac function. Aspects on determinants of maximal oxygen uptake
… and females, with a balanced enlargement of the left and right ventricle. Furthermore, THV was a strong, independent predictor of peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). Males had a larger left ventricular mass (LVM) normalized to THV when compared to females of similar fitness level. In Paper II, THV in …
