The left ventricle (LV) adapts to haemodynamic demands by altering its size, shape and wall thickness, a process collectively referred to as geometric remodelling. In response to pressure overload, ...

Elevated left ventricular mass, known as left-ventricular hypertrophy, is a stronger predictor of coronary artery disease-related death and heart failure than coronary artery calcium score, according ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy, a thickening in the main pump chamber of the heart, strikes African Americans at a higher rate. Even though heart failure sounds as if the heart has completely stopped ...

Panel A shows a cross-section of a normal heart (top) and an endomyocardial biopsy sample from a normal heart (bottom; with hematoxylin and eosin staining) that shows normal histologic characteristics ...

The parameter could potentially help clinicians zero in on the cause of left ventricular hypertrophy. Left atrial (LA) strain, as part of a complete echocardiographic workup, may help physicians ...

Patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis at intermediate and high risk for surgery who, after TAVR, have a larger regression in left ventricular mass at 1 year will then go on to have ...

A new study of more than 1,500 British adolescents is the first in the world to assess the association between familial cardiometabolic diseases and the offspring's risk of premature heart damage by ...

A 61-year-old man of West African descent presented with chest pain syndrome and deep inverted precordial T-waves on 12-lead ECG. Two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated focal left ventricular ...
