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 ...
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is when the heart’s main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, becomes thicker and less able to pump blood efficiently. It usually develops because of another heart ...
Thus, we hypothesized that the presence of reverse white-coat effect may promote LV hypertrophy, especially concentric hypertrophy, in treated hypertension. To assess the hypothesis, the present study ...
Background A 64-year-old male was observed as an outpatient with atypical, non-exercise-induced chest pain and palpitations. He had arterial hypertension and marked concentric left ventricular ...
With the kickoff of this year’s college football season, new research suggests that some college football players may be at risk of developing heart-related complications, based on race, the position ...
Background: The cardiac characteristics of various types of athletes have been defined by echocardiography. Athletes involved in predominately static exercise, such as bodybuilders, have been found to ...
Human neutrophil peptide-1 (HNP-1) is a commonly investigated therapeutic agent. However, its role in hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (HLVH) remains unclear. In a new study published in ...
The three-decade-old international cutpoint for diagnosing children and adolescents with an enlarged heart misclassifies normal heart size as cardiac damage in adolescents, a paper published in the ...
