In patients with untreated essential hypertension, concentric left ventricular hypertrophy is associated with higher mean platelet volume, suggesting a link between this geometric pattern and increased platelet activity and inflammation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Concentric LVH may link to platelet activation in untreated hypertension; hypothesis-generating for outcomes or interventions, should not change practice.
Elbasan et al. (2012) studied this question.
