Background—Elevated renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activity correlates with left
ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and cardiovascular risk, but the relative contributions of …

Other than age, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the most potent predictor of adverse
cardiovascular outcomes in the hypertensive population, and is an independent risk factor …

The association between long-term blood pressure (BP) patterns in community-dwelling
adults and risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction is not well characterized …

Background: Some studies have suggested that serial changes in left ventricular (LV) mass
in hypertensive subjects predict the subsequent risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of …
