If the sum is > 35 mm, then LVH is present. When the myocardium as abnormally thickened, electrical activity takes longer to traverse throughout the whole heart, thus the duration of the QRS ...

and electrical activity takes longer to traverse throughout the whole heart, the duration of the QRS complex may be widened. This is referred to as “LVH with QRS widening.” Also ...

Overweight has emerged as a major global health problem, especially with respect to cardiovascular health. From a drug development view, the relationship between overweight and CVDs presents a ...

However, ECG QRS voltage may not be a reliable predictor of LVH. The limitation of the ECG in identifying ventricular hypertrophy is due to the reliance of measuring the electrical activity of the ...

This study assesses the ability of cardiac MRI (CMR) to distinguish between physiological LVH (so-called athlete's heart) and HCM. Methods 45 patients with HCM (71% men and 20% athletic) and 734 ...

Obesity significantly impacts cardiovascular health, increasing risks such as left ventricular hypertrophy, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Pharmaceuticals play a crucial role in addressing ...
