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 ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy can be diagnosed on ECG with good specificity. When the myocardium is hypertrophied, there is a larger mass of myocardium for electrical activation to pass through ...

Background Left ventricular (LV) mass is closely associated with atherosclerotic heart disease, but the mechanisms are not well defined. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with ...

Objective To identify adolescent athletes with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and differentiate physiological LVH from HCM. Design Observational follow-up study. Setting: Sports Medicine Clinical ...

Now, cardiac MRI can be used to obtain three-dimensional, high-resolution images of the entire left ventricular chamber and thus determine patterns of hypertrophy with improved accuracy.

Aim Differentiating physiological cardiac hypertrophy from pathology is challenging when the athlete presents with extreme anthropometry. While upper normal limits exist for maximal left ventricular ...

High-intensity exercise raises sudden cardiac death risk in young hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients, independent of ...

Obesity significantly impacts cardiovascular health, increasing risks such as left ventricular hypertrophy, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Pharmaceuticals play a crucial role in addressing these ...
