Background. Hypertension-induced left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity and death by mechanisms not well characterized. Methods and Results. Myocardial fatty acid (FA) metabolism and left ventricular (LV) mass were evaluated in 13 patients
Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is associated with concentric basal hypertrophy of the left ventricle. We found a strong correlation between the excursion of the mitral valve annulus and the degree of relative hypertrophy suggesting the possibility that locally increased myocardial function may be respo
