Hemodynamic and Functional Correlates of Concentric vs. Eccentric LVH in a Community-Based Sample With Prevalent Volume-Dependent Hypertension

Whether in volume-dependent primary hypertension, concentric left ventricular (LV) remodeling beyond hypertrophy (LVH) represents the impact of a pressure rather than a volume overload, is unclear.Using central arterial pressure, and aortic velocity and diameter measurements in the outflow tract (echocardiography), we determined the factors that associate with concentric LVH or remodeling in a community of African ancestry (n = 709) with...
