Left ventricular remodeling and geometric changes in arterial hypertension determine the risk of cardiovascular complications.
Left ventricular remodeling and geometric changes in arterial hypertension are important determinants of cardiovascular complication risk.
LV geometry assessment may refine hypertensive CV risk stratification; leaves open whether geometry-targeted therapy improves outcomes.
At present it is established that not only increase of left ventricular mass, but also the type of its geometric changes determines the death risk of cardio-vascular complications. Remodeling of the left ventricle in arterial hypertension developing as a response to progressive increase of myocardial mass, dilation of the chamber and also change in it's geometric characteristics. Study of these processes and pathogenetic mechanisms initiated by them is of significance not only for further progress in cardiology but for the development of modern knowledge on nature and mechanisms of cardio-vascular diseases.
