Key result
Hypertension affects up to ~70% of MI cases, driving concentric LVH and worsening cardiovascular risk.
Why the study?
Arterial hypertension causes left ventricular remodeling and concentric hypertrophy, which negatively affect cardiac function and drive the progression of ischemic heart disease and post-infarction remodeling.

This narrative review highlights the pathological mechanisms of left ventricular hypertrophy and geometric remodeling in arterial hypertension and their adverse impact on ischemic heart disease and post-infarction progression.
Arterial hypertension leads to left ventricular remodeling. Elevated blood pressure causes myocardial thickening and the development of hypertrophy. Concentric hypertrophy negatively affects cardiac function and increases cardiovascular risk. Arterial hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of ischemic heart disease and post-infarction remodeling.

Kholmatov et al. (2026) conducted a review in Arterial hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and left ventricular remodeling. Arterial hypertension was evaluated on Left ventricular remodeling and cardiovascular risk progression. Arterial hypertension is recorded in 45–70% of myocardial infarction cases and drives concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, which impairs cardiac function and elevates cardiovascular risk.
