LVH regression may restore circadian HRV in hypertension; leaves open whether this improves outcomes or warrants targeted therapy.
Does effective antihypertensive treatment that reduces left ventricular hypertrophy improve cardiac autonomic control in hypertensive patients?
A reduction in left ventricular hypertrophy following antihypertensive treatment is associated with the restoration of normal circadian cardiac autonomic control.
Muiesan et al. (1998) studied this question.
