Although ventricular fibrosis frequently complicates hypertensive LVH clinically and experimentally, 6 few clinical studies have addressed the role of salt as a mediator of cardiac fibrosis.

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 ...

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 ...

[99] The 16 patients with LVH had elevated NT-proBNP (81.0 vs 66.8 pg/ml; p < 0.001) and there was no difference between patients with concentric remodeling and control patients. On ROC curve ...
