Is there a correlation between left ventricular hypertrophy, hypertension and age?

Left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension: correlation between electrocardiography and echocardiography.

BACKGROUND Hypertension is an important modifi able cardiovascular risk factor. Left ventricular hypertrophy - the marker of hypertension, has emerged as an independent risk factor that can be detected by electrocardiography (ECG)and echocardiography (ECHO). OBJECTIVE Correlation of electrocardiography and echocardiographically detected left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients. ...

Hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.

In response to high blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy develops. But in hypertension, the myocardial hypertrophied structure is abnormal. The prevalence of this hypertrophy is influenced by age, gender, weight, race, genetics and the severity of high blood pressure. By echocardiography, it has been possible to detect non invasively and more precisely this hypertrophy and its anatomica...

Salivary and Serum Ferritin Levels: Is There a Correlation?

Background and Aim: Blood samples are used for the diagnosis of many diseases. Serum ferritin level is known to be a marker of anemia and iron overload disorders. However, blood collection is an invasive method. Saliva, as a bio-fluid, contains a va-riety of important components that are successfully used for assessment of body health. The use of saliva samples for ferritin evaluation can be re...

Is There Correlation between Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria and Elevated Serum IgE? A Pilot Study

Background: The etiology of urticaria is recognized only in a minority of cases. Allergies to a wide variety of agents have been suspected, as well as hyper reactivity to food additives or drugs. Recently, autoimmune reaction to immunoglobulin E (IgE) and later to high-affinity IgE receptors on mast cells has been reported. The aim of this study was to show elevated serum IgE levels in the pati...
