Objectives American-style football (ASF) athletes are at risk for the development of concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (C-LVH), an established cardiovascular risk factor in the general ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is when the heart’s main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, becomes thicker and less able to pump blood efficiently. It usually develops because of another heart ...

Thus, we hypothesized that the presence of reverse white-coat effect may promote LV hypertrophy, especially concentric hypertrophy, in treated hypertension. To assess the hypothesis, the present study ...

Background A 64-year-old male was observed as an outpatient with atypical, non-exercise-induced chest pain and palpitations. He had arterial hypertension and marked concentric left ventricular ...

Background: The cardiac characteristics of various types of athletes have been defined by echocardiography. Athletes involved in predominately static exercise, such as bodybuilders, have been found to ...

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 hypertrophy ...

There is an adequate body of evidence that indicates that left ventricular hypertrophy is a marker for a shorter-than-normal life span. It has also been noted that achieving reductions in blood ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: I have high blood pressure. My most recent echocardiogram said I have a "hyperdynamic left ventricle," "concentric left ventricular hypertrophy" and "abnormal left ventricle relaxation ...

PICXEL was designed to evaluate the effects of long-term administration of a very low-dose combination of perindopril plus indapamide (perindopril/indapamide) vs ...

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Human neutrophil peptide-1 (HNP-1) is a commonly investigated therapeutic agent. However, its role in ...
