Left ventricular hypertrophy and geometry in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease.
2009
To evaluate the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular geometry in a group of 293 hypertensive patients with stage 2-5 chronic kidney disease (CKD), compared with 289 essential hypertensive patients with normal renal function.All patients underwent echocardiographic examination. Patients on stage 1 CKD, dialysis treatment, or with cardiovascular diseases were excluded.LVH was observed in 47.1% of patients with CKD and in 31.14% of essential hypertensive patients (P0.0001). We found increasingly higher left ventricular diameters, thicknesses, and mass from stage 2 to 5 CKD. Distribution of concentric and eccentric LVH was not different between the two groups. H…

EFFETTI DELL'ALLENAMENTO ALLE ATTIVITÀ SPORTIVE SULLA MASSA VENTRICOLARE SINISTRA
2009
Le attività sportive agonistiche comportano adattamenti cardiaci morfologici e funzionali che permettono di ottimizzare la funzione cardiaca durante l’esercizio fisico. Il principale adattamento funzionale cardiaco è rappresentato dalla bradicardia a riposo, conseguente al raggiungimento di un nuovo equilibrio della bilancia simpato-vagale. Il principale adattamento morfologico dell'apparato cardiocircolatorio all’esercizio fisico è rappresentato dall'ipertrofia miocardica, caratterizzata da un aumento della massa cardiaca che deve essere armonico e proporzionale al grado ed al tipo di attività fisica praticata. Tale ipertrofia coinvolge sia la componente miocitaria che quella vascolare per…
DIFFERENTE IMPATTO NEI DUE SESSI DELL’OBESITÀ SULLA MASSA VENTRICOLARE SINISTRA IN SOGGETTI CAUCASICI CON IPERTENSIONE ARTERIOSA ESSENZIALE
2014
Dati non univoci sono riportati in letteratura sul ruolo della dislipidemia nello sviluppo dell’ipertrofia ventricolare sinistra. Scopo del nostro studio, è stato quello di valutare le potenziali associazioni dei principali parametri lipidici con la massa ventricolare sinistra (LVM) in pazienti con ipertensione essenziale (EHs). Abbiamo arruolato 724 soggetti con EH (età media 45±12 anni; 63% maschi), senza complicanze cardiovascolari e non trattati con farmaci ipolipemizzanti. In tutti i soggetti dono stati dosati la colesterolemia totale (Tchol), la trigliceridemia (TG) e il colesterolo HDL (HDLc). Il colesterolo LDL (LDLc) è stato stimato con la formula di Friedewald ed è stato calcolato…

Influence of Gender on the Relationships between Metabolic Syndrome and Left Ventricular Mass in Essential Hypertensive Subjects

Although the definition and clinical importance of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are still under debate [1], there is clear evidence that MetS considerably increases the risk of cardiovascular (CV) and renal events, in general population and also in subjects with high blood pressure (BP), even in absence of diabetes [2-5]. In some studies the CV morbidity and mortality risk associated with MetS was found to be higher in the female sex [3]. Several lines of evidence suggest that this enhanced CV risk may partially be mediated by the increased prevalence of preclinical CV and renal damage observed in individuals with the MetS [6-14]. Recently, the results of the Framingham Offspring study hig…
