متن کاملLeft Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Asymptomatic Black Hypertensive Subjects.

We have previously observed a high prevalence of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in hypertensive heart failure patients in Nigeria despite a low prevalence of ischemic heart disease. The present study was, therefore, undertaken to assess the prevalence of asy...
متن کاملBariatric Surgery in Patients With Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction
