Tests for left ventricular hypertrophy

    • Treadmill Stress Test in Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

      Twenty-one patients with electrocardiographically diagnosed left ventricular hypertrophy (LVB) and essentially normal coronary arteries on arteriography were subjected to a submaximal treadmill stress test (TST). Six of the 16 patients (38 percent) able to attain a heart rate of at least 90 percent of their predicted maximum were found to have ...

      Left ventricular hypertrophy: An overlooked cardiovascular risk factor AbstrAct Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is common in hyper-tensive patients, and it increases the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and death. Recent evidence indicates it is a modifiable risk factor that is not entirely dependent on blood pressure control.

      p < 0.001). Thus, cardiac hypertrophy in RHR allowed higher developed ventricular pressures but at the ex-pense of higher LVEDP; at the same time, however, the ability to increase contractility in response to beta adrenergic stimulation was decreased. The contrast in results obtained using different tests …

      Conclusions: Electrocardiogram diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy led to the diagnosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in this patient. Left ventricular hypertrophy was only evident a few days after our patient suffered a stroke. The underlying mechanisms responsible for this remain unclear. Furthermore, differential diagnosis of
