      Cause of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy In most hypertensive patients, left ventricular (LV) wall thickness is normal or only mildly increased (≤13 mm).1 A minority of patients may have more substantial hypertrophy (up to 16 mm) and fall into a “gray zone” in which electrocardiographic and echocardiographic

      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. The ...

      Acute Right Ventricular Failure . Isolated acute right ventricular failure is a lot less common than either left ventricular failure or congestive (right and left ventricular) failure. It should be suspected when there is a high venous pressure (raised JVP), but no evidence of pulmonary oedema. It most commonly occurs with an inferior MI.

Conversely, the left ventricular functional response to exercise is inversely related to the degree of hypertrophy. High levels of blood

      predictors of left ventricular hypertrophy. We identified the systolic blood pressure of 150 mm Hg at the exercise levels of 5 METs as the threshold for left ventricular hypertrophy. There was a 4-fold increase in the likelihood for left ventricular hypertrophy for every 10-mm Hg increment in systolic blood pressure beyond this threshold (OR: 1 ...
