Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an abnormal thickening of the left ventricular myocardium that occurs as an adaptive mechanism to increased afterload. The left ventricular myocytes ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy can be diagnosed on ECG with ... This is referred to as “LVH with QRS widening.” Also, repolarization may be affected via similar mechanisms that can result ...

Hypertension does not directly cause dyspnoea; however it can lead to long-term effects on the heart and arteries ...

Several lines of evidence based on cross-sectional and longitudinal studies point to a reduced nocturnal BP fall as a marker of subclinical (i.e., LVH, renal and vascular damage) and overt CV ...

Long corrected QT interval: >440 ms (male), >460 ms (female). Short corrected QT interval: <380 ms. LVH: Left ventricular hypertrophy. Adapted from [29]. Regular physical activity results in clear ...

A new clinical trial demonstrates that leveraging prior cardiovascular imaging data can boost antihypertensive treatment ...

A small panel of circulating biomarkers may reliably distinguish hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) from similar conditions that cause left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), researchers found.

AV, atrioventricular; bpm, beats per minute; LVH, left ventricular hypertrophy; RBBB, right bundle branch block. Common consequences of increased vagal tone include sinus bradycardia, sinus arrhythmia ...

Persistent left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) after renal transplantation is associated with increased long-term mortality, and immunosuppressants might have a role in the development of this ...

Background: Atrial function is an integral part of cardiac function that is often neglected. The presence of left ventricule hypertrophy (LVH) due to arterial hypertension may impair atrial function.
