Effect of surgical treatment on myocardial strain in patients with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma: a mini-review and meta-analysis
Information on systolic dysfunction, as assessed by left-ventricular (LV) mechanics, in patients with pheochromocytoma after surgical treatment is scanty. We performed a systematic meta-analysis of speckle tra...

Prevalence of left-ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension: an updated review of echocardiographic studies
Left-ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a cardinal manifestation of hypertensive organ damage associated with an increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. We reviewed recent literature on the prevalence of LVH, as ass...

Extracardiac organ damage in essential hypertensives with left ventricular concentric remodelling
Clinical and prognostic values of left ventricular concentric remodelling (LVCR) are based on definition of this cardiac phenotype according to outdated guidelines indications. Thus, we analysed the associatio...

Indexation of left ventricular mass to body surface area and height to allometric power of 2.7: is the difference limited to obese hypertensives?
Whether left ventricular mass (LVM) should be normalized to different indexes in relation to body size is still debated. We sought to evaluate the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) defined by di...

Metabolic syndrome and biventricular hypertrophy in essential hypertension
The metabolic syndrome (MS) is associated with structural and functional alterations of the left ventricle (LV); no evidence is available on the impact of the MS on the right ventricle (RV). To assess whether ...
