Detection 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 کاملThe influence of the peripheral reflection wave on left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with essential hypertension.
The objective of this study was to clarify the relationship between afterload, which consists mainly of the vascular reflection wave, and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with untreated essential hypertension using the fingertip photoplethysmogram (PTG) and second derivative wave (SDPTG) methods, the simplest and most convenient tools for pulse wave analysis. The augmentation index (AI)...
متن کاملBlood pressure control and left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive Nigerians.
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a disease characterized by end-organ complications, leading to high morbidity and mortality in many cases. People with untreated or uncontrolled hypertension often run the risk of developing complications directly associated with the disease. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) has been shown to be a significant risk factor for adverse outcomes both in patients with hy...
متن کاملCoronary Pressure-Flow Relations in Hypertensive Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Coronary pressure-flow relations during autoregulated and vasodilated flow states were compared between eight dogs with renovascular hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy and 12 normal dogs. Each relation was constructed from serial steady-state measurements of end-diastolic coronary pressure and flow during perfusion of the circumflex artery by an extracorporeal circuit at controlled d...
متن کاملClinicopathological study on left ventricular hypertrophy in elderly hypertensive patients.
The correlations between blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy and left atrial enlargement were examined in 2,010 autopsied cases. The cases were classified into 3 groups: 972 (48.2%) normotension cases, 313 cases (15.5%) of systolic hypertension and 725 cases (36.1%) of diastolic hypertension. The incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was significantly higher in systolic and d...
