Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of left-ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension: an updated review of echocardiographic studies.
TL;DR: Despite the improved management of hypertension in the last two decades, LVH remains a highly frequent biomarker of cardiac damage in the hypertensive population and calls for a more aggressive treatment of hypertension and related CV risk factors leading to LVH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Left-ventricular hypertrophy and obesity: a systematic review and meta-analysis of echocardiographic studies.
TL;DR: The analysis shows that LVH is present in a consistent fraction of the obese population and that eccentric hypertrophy prevails over the concentric phenotype, and the prevention/treatment of obesity may have a strong, favourable impact on incident heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and correlates of left atrial enlargement in essential hypertension: role of ventricular geometry and the metabolic syndrome: the Evaluation of Target Organ Damage in Hypertension study.

TL;DR: This study suggests that LA enlargement is a common echocardiographic finding in selected essential hypertensive patients with different left ventricular geometric patterns and, in addition to LVH, overweight, high fasting glucose and metabolic syndrome are associated with LA dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antihypertensive and renal effects of orally administered verapamil
TL;DR: It is concluded that oral administration of verapamil significantly lowers blood pressure without simultaneously inducing cardiac stimulation, renin secretion or salt and water retention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and correlates of aortic root dilatation in patients with essential hypertension: relationship with cardiac and extracardiac target organ damage.
TL;DR: It is shown that hypertensive patients with aortic root enlargement have more pronounced alterations in cardiac structure and geometry as well as in carotid artery morphology compared with those without the enlargement, which appears to be a useful marker of high cardiovascular risk related to TOD.
