Journal ArticleDOI

Natural biventricular hypertrophy in normotensive rats. I. Physical and hemodynamic characteristics.

TL;DR: A subset of the WKY demonstrating an inheritable transmission of biventricular cardiac hypertrophy (BVH) has been identified, and this natural development of BVH appears to be in response to an increased cardiac output.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incremental value of echocardiographic assessment beyond clinical evaluation for prediction of death and development of heart failure after high-risk myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Predictors of death and development of heart failure were assessed in 603 patients from the Valsartan in Acute Myocardial Infarction (VALIANT) echocardiographic substudy, finding that measures of cardiac structure and function beyond LVEF provide important prognostic information beyond the clinical assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood pressure in heart failure: a love-hate relationship.
