TL;DR: A long-term treatment, including a double-blind comparison of three separate periods of 4 weeks of treatment with NI, AC and with the combination of the same doses, showed a significant reduction of systolic and diastolic blood pressure for each treatment, not significantly different at rest for the three single drugs but greater for the combined treatment, assuring also a better control of syStolic BP during exercise.

TL;DR: PSID is a reliable tool for the screening of determinants of AA size, which is greater in men and strongly influenced by aging and overweight and CAD may be also associated to increased AA diameter.

TL;DR: It is indicated that isradipine treatment improves LV systolic function and causes a significant reduction in LV mass early in the course of antihypertensive treatment and is effective in both patients with and without LV hypertrophy.

TL;DR: The morphology of the athlete's heart is intermediate between concentric and eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), in relation to the large prevalence of mixed sports activities and training protocols (including both aerobic and anaerobic exercise).

TL;DR: The echocardiographic assessment helps not only for the retrospective diagnosis of sources of embolism but also for the prevention of events in asymptomatic patients and can also distinguish normal variants and artifacts from cardiac masses and tumors.
