Metabolic support in left ventricular hypertrophy
Aims: 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 …

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 …

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 …

Left Ventricular Long Axis Dynamics in Pathological and Physiological Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
… could determine the nature of increases in left ventricular size (pathological or physiological). <br/><br/>Study one examined differences at rest in longitudinal velocities between individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), hypertension (HT), weightlifters, runners and controls, (n …

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 …

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 …

Association of African Ancestry with Electrocardiographic Voltage and Concentric Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: The Dallas Heart Study
The general metadata -- e.g., title, author, abstract, subject headings, etc. -- is publicly available, but access to the submitted files is restricted to UT Southwestern campus access and/or authorized UT Southwestern users.

The Effects of Glucose Tolerance, Hypertension, and Race on Heart Rate Variability, QT Interval Duration, and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Overweight-Obese Adolescents
… duration, and Cornell voltage 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 …

Biomarkers of ventricular remodelling in African hypertensives.
… the burden of hypertension, hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy and hypertensive heart failure is very enormous in sub-Saharan Africa. There is therefore the need to look for easier and faster means, compared to electrocardiography and echocardiography of diagnosing and …

Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Indices of Myocardial Fibrosis in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
… all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure. Histologic studies on rats suggest an association between higher levels of FGF-23 with myocardial fibrosis. However, it is unknown whether such relationship exists in humans.

The role of Nox2 containing NADPH oxidase in hypertensive heart disease
… to be involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. However the relevant cellular source(s) involved in the above effects remains unclear. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the critical cell source of the Nox2 in a model of angiotensin II (AngII) induced left …

Myocardial insulin resistance in experimental uraemia
… in patients with chronic kidney 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 …

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Review of Clinical and Molecular Characteristics and Effects and A Clinical Case Study
… disease of the myocardium characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy and myofibrillar disarray. HCM is considered the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes. Mutations of the myosin-binding protein C (cMyBP-C) have been targeted as one of the most prevalent causes of …

The Relationship Between Measures of Obesity and Incident Heart Failure: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
… hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, dysglycemia, left ventricular hypertrophy, kidney disease and inflammation. The associations of BMI and WC with incident HF did not vary by ethnicity or age-group (p>0.05), but paradoxically were inverse in Hispanic men. The area under the curve for BMI and WC …

Cardiac PI3Kα Signaling and K+ Channel Regulation in Cardiac Hypertrophy and Heart Failure
Pathologic biomechanical stresses cause cardiac hypertrophy, which is associated with QT prolongation and increased risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. Previous studies demonstrated that repolarizing K<super>+</super> current densities are decreased in pressure overload-induced left …
