Epicardial Area in the Short Axis: a Simple Means of Recognizing Elevated Left Ventricular Mass
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Cardiac Failure"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cardfail.2018.07.107
Abstract: Background Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is strongly associated with the development of heart failure. The two-dimensional left ventricular mass (LVM) algorithms suffer from measurement variability that can lead to misclassification of patients with LVH as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ekir.2017.12.011
Abstract: Introduction The high burden of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is related to development of hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy. Blood pressure reduction has been shown to reduce left… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2020.01.052
Abstract: BACKGROUND Compensatory remodelling i.e. increased right ventricular (RV) mass frequently occurs as an adaptive response to the chronic pressure overload to maintain contractile function. The prognostic value of the serial change in RV mass is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-64525-z
Abstract: Left ventricular (LV) mass is a prognostic biomarker for incident heart disease and all-cause mortality. Large-scale genome-wide association studies have identified few SNPs associated with LV mass. We hypothesized that a polygenic discovery approach using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00015385.2022.2118414
Abstract: Abstract Background Echocardiographic-determined left ventricular mass index (LVMI) provides quantitative information on left-ventricular structure. However, its prognostic value on light-chain (AL) amyloidosis has not been clearly defined. Methods We included 99 patients with newly diagnosed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08037051.2020.1831902
Abstract: Abstract Purpose Raised blood pressure, with the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) as a central regulatory component, is one of the most important contributors to early development of left ventricular hypertrophy. Factors such as increased age, sex,… read more here.
