Ventricular arrhythmias and left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) could influence the development of ventricular arrhythmias. OBJECTIVE In HCM, analyze the association between the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias determined by Holter electrocardiogram (ECG-Holter) and the degree of LVH determined by maximum wall thickness (MWT) in echocardiography and body...
متن کاملEffect of diuretic therapy on ventricular arrhythmias in hypertensive patients with or without left ventricular hypertrophy.
Recent studies have suggested that hypertensive patients with ECG evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) may have increased risk of sudden death when treated with diuretics. In the present study echocardiography was used as a more sensitive index for the presence of LVH. Thirty-one patients with uncomplicated hypertension underwent 48-hour ambulatory ECG monitoring both before any treat...
متن کاملDetection of hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy.
The risk of adverse cardiovascular events is higher in persons with electrocardiographic evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, and the decision to treat patients with antihypertensive drugs is often determined by the presence of hypertrophy. In this study a number of electrocardiographic criteria for detection of left ventricular hypertrophy were applied to a population of 85 hypertensive s...
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 Hypertrophy Familial Predisposition of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
METHODS Echocardiographic and anthropometric measurements were performed in 2,293 individuals who participated in the echocardiographic substudies of population-based MONICA Augsburg surveys. In addition, a total of 319 siblings of survey participants with echocardiographic evidence of LVH were evaluated. The risk of these siblings to present with LVH or abnormal LV geometry was estimated by co...
