Adverse prognostic significance of concentric remodeling of the left ventricle in hypertensive patients with normal left ventricular mass

We examined the prognostic significance of concentric remodeling of the left ventricle in patients with essential hypertension and normal left ventricular mass on echocardiography. An echocardiographic pattern of concentric remodeling of the left ventricle has been associated with clinical features...

Zusammenfassung:	We examined the prognostic significance of concentric remodeling of the left ventricle in patients with essential hypertension and normal left ventricular mass on echocardiography. An echocardiographic pattern of concentric remodeling of the left ventricle has been associated with clinical features of increased cardiovascular risk, but the independent prognostic value of this finding in hypertensive patients with normal left ventricular mass has not been established. Six hundred ninety-four patients with essential hypertension and normal left ventricular mass (
