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 ...

"What we found in this population, which are children in mild to moderate CKD, was a surprisingly high prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy [LVH]," senior author Dr Franz Schaefer ...

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 ...

This multicenter study sheds more light on sex-based differences in aortic stenosis (AS) and argues the benefits of using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess sex-based risks in AS.

as left ventricular hypertrophy (a pathological diagnosis). Although most cases of increased left ventricular wall thickness do represent true hypertrophy, the differential diagnosis must include ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disease characterized by abnormal myocardial hypertrophy, which can lead to a wide clinical spectrum, including sudden cardiac death and heart failure.
