Left Ventricular Relative Wall Thickness Versus Left Ventricular Mass Index in Non-Cardioembolic Stroke Patients
In non-cardioembolic stroke patients, the cardiac manifestations of high blood pressure are of particular interest. Emerging data suggest that echocardiographically determined left ventricular hypertrophy is independently associated with risk of ischemic stroke.The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of different patterns of left ventricular (LV) remodeling and hypertr...
متن کاملechocardiographic assessment of inappropriate left ventricular mass and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with diastolic dysfunction
background: early diagnosis of left ventricular mass (lvm) inappropriateness and left ventricular hypertrophy (lvh) can result in preventing diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and its related morbidity and mortality. this study was performed to determine if diastolic dysfunction is associated with lvh and inappropriate lvm. methods: one hundred and twenty five uncomplicated hypertensi...
متن کاملLeft ventricular mass correlates with lean body mass in patients with disease-associated wasting
Dear Editor, The key feature of disease-associated malnutrition, or cachexia, is muscle wasting [1]. However, an efficient tool for the assessment of skeletal muscularity in daily practice is not available yet [2]. We recently demonstrated that left ventricular mass (LVM) as measured by echocardiography reflects nutritional status in patients with systemic sclerosis [3]. Similarly to skeletal m...
متن کاملLongitudinal Study of Left Ventricular Mass Growth
Hypertension occurs in at least 70% of people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is estimated to affect 11% (19.2 million) of the US adult population; CKD is associated with a large and disproportionate burden of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. CKD rivals diabetes mellitus as a coronary risk equivalent in veterans. Established risk factors for cardiovascular disease include left v...
متن کاملIncreased left ventricular mass in obese adolescents.
AIMS An increase of left ventricular mass (LVM) has been reported in obese adolescents in previous studies using echocardiography. The aim of our study was to determine the extent of the increase in LVM and correlation to other risk factors using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in obese and lean adolescents. METHODS AND RESULTS Nineteen obese and 20 lean adolescents were recruited. Followi...
