The relation between left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and LV function is well known. However, less is known about the vascular changes influenced by LV geometry. We sought to investigate the ...

BP was measured by a trained nurse by using an automated device (Omron 705IT, Omron, Kyoto, Japan) after a 5-min rest with the patient seated. Based on the upper arm circumference, an appropriately ...

The multivariate analysis showed concentric geometry as an independent predictor of adverse outcomes (odds ratio, 3.65; 95% confidence interval, 1.30 to 10.27; P =0.014). In patients with gestational ...

In the past, an adverse prognostic significance of an altered left ventricular geometry in essential hypertension has been demonstrated. There are no data on the prognostic significance of an altered ...
