Association Between Ambient Air Pollution and Cardiac Morpho-Functional Phenotypes: Insights From the UK Biobank Population Imaging Study.
(2018-11-13)
Background: Exposure to ambient air pollution is strongly associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Little is known about the influence of air pollutants on cardiac structure and function. We aim ...
The impact of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) on cardiac structure and function: Insights from the UK Biobank imaging enhancement study.
(2018)
BACKGROUND: The effect of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT)-previously known as hormone replacement therapy-on cardiovascular health remains unclear and controversial. This cross-sectional study examined the impact of MHT ...
The Relationship of Left Ventricular Trabeculation to Ventricular Function and Structure Over a 9.5-Year Follow-Up: The MESA Study.
(2014-11-11)
Left ventricular (LV) trabeculation is highly variable among individuals and is increased in some diseases (e.g., congenital heart disease or cardiomyopathies), but its significance in population-representative individuals is ...
LB01.07: ELEVATED BLOOD PRESSURE WITHOUT HYPERTROPHY RAISES LEFT VENTRICULAR EJECTION FRACTION.
(2015-06)
OBJECTIVE: Hypertension remains a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Persistent blood pressure (BP) elevation may lead to left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and heart failure. We wanted to ...
