Background: Increasing number of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients are reported to have increased left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), a major risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. We wished to determine which factors were most associated with changes in left ventricular mass index (LVMI).

Methods: We reviewed patient and treatment factors in prevalent PD patients with repeat echocardiograms 18 to 24 months apart, with corresponding bioimpedance measurements of extracellular water (ECW) and serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP).

Results: We studied 60 patients (34 males, 35 with diabetes) who were treated with PD for a median of 14 months (2.5-26.3 months). All but one had LVH; on repeat echocardiography, there was no overall change in LVMI (106 [84-127] g/m2 vs. 108 [91-122] g/m2) despite a loss of residual renal function. Left ventricular mass increased in 34 (56.7%), and the percent change in LVMI was associated with percent change in NT-proBNP (r = 0.51, p = 0.017) and ECW/height (r = 0.32, p = 0.029), but not with ECW/total body water or changes in systolic or mean arterial pressure, urine output, 24-hour PD ultrafiltration, or net sodium balance. Only ECW/height remained independently associated with the percent change in LVMI in a multivariable model (odds ratio, 1.25; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-1.36; p = 0.007).

Conclusion: In this observational longitudinal report, a reduction in ECW/height was associated with regression of LVMI, whereas an increased ECW/height was associated with increased LVMI. As there was no corresponding association with systolic or mean arterial pressure, then volume expansion would appear to be a more significant factor in determining LVH than blood pressure.

This study aimed to investigate the correlation of the increased volume index of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with Hypertension (HTN). A total of 209 HTN patients and 50 healthy controls, who underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) at two medical centers in China between June 2015 and October 2024, were enrolled for this study. Postprocessing and imaging analysis were conducted and EAT measurements were performed.

Objectives: Ischemia/reperfusion (IR)-induced ventricular arrhythmia, which mainly occurs after the opening of coronary artery occlusion, poses a clinical problem. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of pretreatment with coenzyme Q (CoQ) in combination with mitochondrial transplantation on IR-induced ventricular arrhythmias in aged rats.

Materials And Methods: Myocardial IR induction was performed by left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion for 30 min, followed by re-opening for 24 hr.

Background: Children with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) usually present with right heart abnormalities, however much is not known if these children presents with left ventricular dysfunction.

Objectives: This article is aimed to ascertain the left ventricular function of children with TOF compared with those without any congenital heart disease. It also elicits the correlation if any, between left ventricular mass and descending aorta blood flow.

Background: The initial outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with left ventricular outflow tract calcification are poor. Furthermore, balloon-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement is associated with an increased risk of annular rupture, and self-expandable transcatheter aortic valve replacement is associated with worse post-operative residual paravalvular leakage grades. Therefore, developing an optimal method for transcatheter aortic valve replacement for patients with left ventricular outflow tract calcification is desirable.
