Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of left ventricular (LV)
mass and geometry measured with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to incident …

Primary aldosteronism (PA), a common cause of high blood pressure (BP), induces left
ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and an excess rate of cardiovascular events. Whether its …

Background To date there has been no comprehensive review of the association between
left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) at baseline and subsequent adverse clinical events …

Subcellular localization of nitric oxide (NO) synthases with effector molecules is an important
regulatory mechanism for NO signalling. In the heart, NO inhibits L-type Ca2+ channels but …

The detection of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy on echocardiography is a powerful risk
indicator in essential hypertension. However, the prognostic impact of LV mass values within …

Objectives: This study was designed to determine the effects of obesity on left ventricular
(LV) structure and function in young obese women. Background: Severe prolonged obesity …

Background—Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy has been established as an independent risk
factor for cardiovascular disease in adults. Recent research has refined this relationship by …
