Objectives: This study investigated the effect of catheter-based renal sympathetic
denervation (RD) on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and systolic and diastolic function in …

ContextIncreased baseline left ventricular (LV) mass predicts cardiovascular (CV)
complications of hypertension, but the relation between lower LV mass and outcome during …

Left-ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a cardinal manifestation of hypertensive organ damage
associated with an increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. We reviewed recent literature on the …

The authors investigated 3 important areas related to the clinical use of left ventricular mass

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate whether different antihypertensive
treatment regimens with similar blood pressure reduction have different effects on new-onset …

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

Background—An echocardiographic substudy of the Losartan Intervention for Endpoint
Reduction in Hypertension (LIFE) trial was designed to test the ability of losartan to reduce …

Left ventricular hypertrophy is an important risk factor in cardiovascular disease and
