Prognostic value of left ventricular concentric remodeling in uncomplicated mild hypertension

The prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) concentric remodeling in essential hypertension, and particularly in uncomplicated mild hypertension, is not yet completely clear. We investigated cardiovascular outcome in uncomplicated mild hypertensive patients with normal LV geometry and LV concentri...

Zusammenfassung:	The prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) concentric remodeling in essential hypertension, and particularly in uncomplicated mild hypertension, is not yet completely clear. We investigated cardiovascular outcome in uncomplicated mild hypertensive patients with normal LV geometry and LV concentric remodeling. The occurrence of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events was evaluated in 1088 uncomplicated mild hypertensive patients, 751 with normal LV geometry (LV mass index
