Prevalence and determinants of left ventricular geometric abnormalities in hypertensive patients: A study based on the updated classification system of left ventricular geometry

Abstract: The prevalence of hypertensive LV geometric abnormality in rural area of Southern China was obvious higher. Compared with eccentric LV geometric abnormalities, there were more risk factors, including large WC and NC, age, NC, SBP, hyperuricemia, alcohol use, BMI and gender, which were associated with concentric LV geometric abnormalities.

“…At cardiac echo Doppler, the high frequency of echographic LVH in our sample is superimposed on those reported by Sha et al (65.8%) [15]. Jaleta in Ethiopia and Ikama in Congo reported a prevalence of LVH of 52% and 47.9% respectively [16,17].…”

“…Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a sensitive and specific marker of left ventricular remodeling (Huang et al, 2017;Sha et al, 2017). LVH progression results in the development of congestive heart failure, which is associated with great health and economic burdens (Yancy et al, 2013;Ponikowski et al, 2016;Cai et al, 2018).…”

“…They stated that concentric LV geometric abnormalities were more commonly accompanied by more cardiovascular risk factors such as increased waist circumference, neck circumference, old age, systolic BP, hyperuricemia, increased BMI, and alcohol use. 7 In fact, these CV risk factors can partially explain the higher CV risk associated with concentric LV geometric patterns. However, this paper does not report outcomes associated with each geometric pattern, and it is difficult to create the link between the pattern of LVH, risk factors, and the risk itself.…”
