LVH regression may be volume-driven in aldosteronism and pressure-driven in renovascular hypertension; leaves open whether intervention reduces mass independently.
Does surgical or interventional treatment reduce left ventricular mass in patients with secondary hypertension?
The regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after treatment of secondary hypertension is driven by volume reduction in primary aldosteronism and blood pressure reduction in renovascular hypertension.
Yoshitomi et al. (1996) studied this question.
