Left ventricular performance in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy caused by systemic arterial hypertension.
To assess the adaptation of the left ventricle to a chronic pressure overload we used echocardiography to study 18 patients with left ventricular hypertrophy caused by systemic arterial hypertension. Increased values for either posterior wall or interventricular septal thickness or both confirmed the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy in all patients and an increase in the average wall th...
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 کاملHypertension 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...
متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy in systemic hypertension. Benefits of its reversal.
The complex problem of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) related to systemic arterial hypertension (H) has motivated several experimental, clinical and epidemiological studies. Because LVH is an important predisposing factor for heart failure 1 and because it is physiopathologically related to ischemic heart disease and ventricular arrhythmias, hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy is an i...
متن کاملLeft ventricular contractile performance, ventriculoarterial coupling, and left ventricular efficiency in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy.
Contractile performance of hypertrophied left ventricle may be depressed in arterial hypertension. Ventriculoarterial coupling is impaired when myocardial contractile performance is reduced and when afterload is increased. The left ventricular contractile performance and the ventriculoarterial coupling were evaluated in 30 hypertensive patients with moderate left ventricular hypertrophy and 20 ...
