Description for Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Hardback. Offers a bibliographical reflection of a Boerhaave Symposium held on April 9, 1999, in Leiden. This book includes detection methods for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) such as magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. It focuses on the molecular and genetic approach of LVH. It is intended for clinical cardiologists and general internists. Editor(s): Wall, E. E. van der; Laarse, A. van der (Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands); Pluim, Babette M.

The importance of left ventricular hypertrophy in cardiovascular disease has gained wide recognition. Left ventricular hypertrophy is a highly important risk factor associated with major cardiovascular events, including symptomatic heart failure, particularly in patients with systemic hypertension. Over the past years much has been learned about the genetics, molecular background, prevalence, incidence and prognosis of left ventricular hypertrophy. A variety of noninvasive methods has emerged for detecting left ventricular hypertrophy and the assessment of reversal of hypertrophy. Yet, a lot of controversy remains about the connotations and clinical implications of left ventricular hypertrophy. For instance, in the athlete's heart left ... Read more

Reviews for Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
`This book presents an excellent overview of today's understanding of left ventricular hypertrophy and the research directions that are being pursued. It is therefore of great value for all medical specialists and basic scientists who are interested in this field.' Johan H.C. Reiber in International Journal of Cardiac Imaging, 16 (2000)
