Evaluation of Right Ventricular Functions in Patients of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Aims And Objectives: To evaluate the Right Ventricular functions in patients of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy.Common conditions that effect the left ventricle causing dysfunction areIschemic heart disease , Cigarette smoking, Hypertension (high blood pressure), Obesity; Diabetes; Valvular heart disease ; Cardiomyopathies. Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) or increased left ventricular mass (LVM) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease 1 . Patterns like concentric hypertrophy (increase in both ventricular mass and relative wall thickness), eccentric hypertrophy (increase in left ventricular mass with normal relative wall thickness, concentric remodeling (increase in relative wall thickness) are identified that carry different risk for cardiovascular events 2 . 2-Dimensional Echocardiography (2D ECHO) is also considered as a gold standard tool for diagnosing left ventricular hypertrophy 4 . Methods: cross sectional of 115 patients with risk factor of developing LVH.
