ABSTRACT

introduction Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an important manifestation of hypertensive organ damage associated with increased ventricular wall thickness, left ventricle mass, and cardiac remodeling. Neurohumoral and hemodynamic factors play important roles in the development of LVH. The heart is the most vulnerable target organ for hypertension, and >30% of patients with hypertension will undergo LVH. The incidence rate is positively correlated with the severity of hypertension.[1]
