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 ...

A higher incidence of LVH associated with persistent nondipping pattern reasonably represents cardiac response to a sustained increase of LV systolic stress throughout the 24-h period. Thus ...

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 ...

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 ...

Voltage criteria for LV hypertrophy (LVH) are frequently fulfilled, but correlate poorly with echocardiographic findings [16] and should not prompt further investigation in the absence of symptoms ...

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 ...

The prevalence of LVH increased progressively across METS-VF quartiles, ranging from 7.9% to 31%. Higher METS-VF levels were ...
