The prevalence of ischaemic heart disease with associated cardiomegaly and other chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus has increased in Malaysia in recent years. As the contribution to mortality from ischaemic heart disease/cardiomegaly in different ethnic populations is unclear, a three year (January 2013-December 2015) retrospective study of...

Objective: To evaluate the left ventricular mass (LVM) reduction induced by dietary sodium restriction. Patients and Methods: A simple sodium-restricted diet was advised in 138 treated hypertensives. They had to avoid common salt loads, such as cheese and salt-preserved meat, and were switched from regular to salt-free bread. Blood pressure (BP), 2...

This study aimed to identify the ideal timing and setting for measuring blood pressure (BP) and determine whether the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) is an independent risk factor associated with increased cardiovascular events in hemodialysis (HD) patients. BP and LVMI were measured at baseline and at 6 and 12 months after HD initiation. BP was...

Children suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) have the apparent highest risk for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at a young age. While symptoms of CVD are characteristically absent in childhood and adolescence, remodelling of the myocardium, medium and large-sized arteries and of the microcirculation is clinically significant...

Background Globally, hypertension is the most important public health issue and is a increasing health problem in Ethiopia. Blood pressure (BP) control is an ultimate therapeutic goal of hypertensive patients in reducing early complications of hypertension. Hence, this study was sought to examine the magnitude of uncontrolled BP, left ventricular h...

PURPOSE: The American College of Cardiology/ American Heart Association 2017 and European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension 2018 guidelines were a paradigm shift in hypertension management in contemporary medicine. Lowering of blood pressure to less than 130 (systolic) and 80 (diastolic) mm of Hg irrespective of cardiovascular...

Subclinical hypertensive heart disease (SHHD) is a precursor to heart failure. Blood pressure (BP) reduction is an important component of secondary disease prevention in patients with SHHD. Treating patients with SHHD utilizing a more intensive BP target (120/80 mm Hg), may lead to improved cardiac function but there has been limited study of this,...

Background: It has been reported that changes in cardiac structure and ventricular function associated with obesity have to be attributable to hemodynamic and non-hemodynamic alterations. Accordingly, the aim of this was to evaluate left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) prevalence and its effect on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in a...

Untreated chronic hypertension causes left ventricular hypertrophy, which is related to the occurrence of atrial fibrillation. Dronedarone is an antiarrhythmic agent recently approved for atrial fibrillation. Our group previously demonstrated that dronedarone produced an early regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after 14 days of treatment in...
