Echocardiography Predictors of Survival in Hypertensive Patients With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

BACKGROUND Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a well-known target organ damage. Concentric hypertrophy is the strongest predictor of increased risk of cardiovascular events, but the predictive value of individual echocardiographic parameters remains unclear. The aim of this study was to search for echocardiographic and hemodynamic variables associated with concentric and eccentric remodeling and their association with long-term cardiovascular...
