TLDR
Physiologically, left ventricular hypertrophy is primarily an adaptive remodeling process, compensating for an increase in workload placed on the heart with the aim of minimizing ventricular wall stress.
Abstract
Physiologically, left ventricular hypertrophy is primarily an adaptive remodeling process, compensating for an increase in workload placed on the heart with the aim of minimizing ventricular wall stress. Two contrasting models of adaptation may develop depending on the patterns of stress imposed.

Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Chronic Kidney Disease

TL;DR: FGF-23 is independently associated withleft ventricular mass index and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with CKD, and whether increased FGF- 23 is a marker or a potential mechanism of myocardial hyperTrophy in CKD requires further study.

Endogenous Cardiotonic Steroids: Physiology, Pharmacology, and Novel Therapeutic Targets

TL;DR: The physiological interactions between CTS and other regulatory systems that may be important in the pathophysiology of essential hypertension, preeclampsia, end-stage renal disease, congestive heart failure, and diabetes mellitus are focused on.

Cardiovascular Disease in Chronic Kidney Disease: Pathophysiological Insights and Therapeutic Options.

TL;DR: The authors explore the most important interactions between heart rhythm disorders and renal dysfunction while evaluating the ways in which the coexistence of renal dysfunction and cardiac arrhythmia influences the management of both.

Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 and Cardiovascular Events in CKD

TL;DR: Elevated FGF-23 was associated more strongly with CHF than with atherosclerotic events, and uniformly was associated with greater risk of CHF events across subgroups stratified by eGFR, proteinuria, prior heart disease, diabetes, BP control, anemia, sodium intake, income, fat-free mass, left ventricular mass index, and ejection fraction.

Relation of Left Ventricular Mass and Geometry to Morbidity and Mortality in Uncomplicated Essential Hypertension

TL;DR: Echocardiographically determined left ventricular mass and geometry stratify risk in patients with essential hypertension independently of and more strongly than blood pressure or other potentially reversible risk factors and may help to stratify the need for intensive treatment.

Association of serum phosphorus and calcium x phosphate product with mortality risk in chronic hemodialysis patients: A national study

TL;DR: This study concludes that a large percentage of hemodialysis patients who have a serum phosphorus level above 6.5 mg/dL and that this places them at increased risk of death, and supports the need for vigorous control of hyperphosphatemia to improve patient survival.

The effects of normal as compared with low hematocrit values in patients with cardiac disease who are receiving hemodialysis and epoetin.

TL;DR: In patients with clinically evident congestive heart failure or ischemic heart disease who are receiving hemodialysis, administration of epoetin to raise their hematocrit to 42 percent is not recommended.

Clinical and echocardiographic disease in patients starting end-stage renal disease therapy

TL;DR: It is concluded that clinical and echocardiographic cardiovascular disease are already present in a very high proportion of patients starting ESRD therapy and are independent mortality factors.
