  Background Electrocardiographic markers of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) predict poor prognosis. We determined whether the ACE inhibitor ramipril prevents the development and causes regression of ECG-LVH and whether these changes are associated with improved prognosis independent of blood pressure reduction. […] By study end, 336 patients in the ramipril group (8.1%) compared with 406 in the placebo group (9.8%) had development/persistence of LVH; in contrast, 3799 patients in the ramipril group (91.9%) compared with 3740 in the placebo group (90.2%) had regression/prevention of LVH ( P =0.007). The effect of ramipril on LVH was independent of blood pressure changes. Patients who had regression/prevention of LVH had a lower risk of the predefined primary outcome (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke) compared with those who had development/persistence of LVH (12.3% versus 15.8%, P =0.006) and of congestive heart failure (9.3% versus 15.4%, P 0.0001). […] The ACE inhibitor ramipril decreases the development and causes regression of ECG-LVH independent of blood pressure reduction, and these changes are associated with reduced risk of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and congestive heart failure.

  Therefore, we investigated whether regression of ECG LVH using Cornell product criteria during antihypertensive treatment in the Losartan Intervention For Endpoint reduction in hypertension (LIFE) study was associated with a decrease in incident heart failure. […] The current study, however, was the first to study the association between ECG LVH regression and heart failure incidence. […] In this study, regression of ECG LVH with antihypertensive therapy was associated with a lower incidence of heart failure regardless of blood pressure lowering and other heart failure risk factors. […] We believe this was the first study to show this clear relationship. […] The data in this study suggest that a possible goal of antihypertensive therapy should be reduction of ECG LVH as well as blood pressure lowering. This may further reduce the incidence of heart failure. […] A reduction of Cornell product LVH in these patients is associated with fewer hospitalizations for heart failure independent of blood pressure lowering and other heart failure risk factors.

  https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/heart-valve-problems-and-disease/heart-valve-problems-and-causes/what-is-left-ventricular-hypertrophy-lvh

  Left ventricular hypertrophy, or LVH, is a term for a heart’s left pumping chamber that has thickened and may not be pumping efficiently. […] It’s important to treat the causes of LVH early because it can lead to severe problems such as heart failure, sudden cardiac arrest and ischemic stroke. […] LVH can often be corrected by treating the underlying problem causing the heart to work too hard. Depending on the type of damage that has occurred, treatment measures may include medications and heart-healthy lifestyle changes to help reduce the pressure in the heart. If LVH is caused by a heart valve problem, surgery may be needed to repair or replace the valve.

  The impact of these therapies on mortality is unknown. […] Patients with Fabry disease with cardiac manifestations should generally receive standard therapies for heart disease, including antianginal medication for angina, standard antiarrhythmic therapy, and guideline-directed therapy for heart failure. […] Management of hypertension is needed, and over one-half of the patients develop increases in blood pressure after the onset of CKD. […] The treatment regimens used are similar to those used for multiple myeloma. […] The primary goal includes preventing disease progression by stopping the production of light chains and inhibiting amyloid fibril formation. […] The basic policies for CA management are to deal with symptomatic complaints based on HF, together with the consideration of two therapeutic possibilities: general HF pharmacotherapy and causal treatment for CA.

  People should understand the importance of adopting healthier lifestyle habits for better control of their blood pressure. This includes quitting smoking, steering clear of inactive habits and keeping active (working out at least three times a week), lessening salt consumption (below 2 grams/day), and avoiding alcohol. People should also be aware of the dangers associated with uncontrolled blood pressure and appreciate the convenience of home monitoring devices, as well as keeping a daily record of their blood pressure readings. […] Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a frequent and easy-to-improve cause of LVH (enlargement of the hearts main pumping chamber). Therefore, proper management is crucial as it not only averts further worsening but may also reverse LVH. Following a healthier lifestyle is as crucial to curbing cardiovascular diseases and premature death as taking prescribed medication regularly.

  There is a direct relationship between the regression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and a decreased risk of mortality. This investigation aimed to describe the effects of anti-hypertensive drugs on cardiac hypertrophy through a meta-analysis of the literature. […] Several published reports have provided data indicating that anti-hypertensive drugs promote ventricular hypertrophy regression and myocardial repair. In particular, ACE inhibitors have shown promising cardio-protective effects in experimental models of hypertensive heart disease; specifically, these inhibitors improve micro-vascular ischemia, ventricular function and arrhythmias. […] The high prevalence of LVH and the high rate of complications of its condition necessitate a thorough understanding of the mechanisms involved in its etiology and development, as well as the importance of prevention and regression, to optimize and prevent the deleterious consequences.

  We aimed to investigate the determinant factors of blood pressure (BP) control achievement and in particular the impact of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) regression, determined by echocardiography, in hypertensive patients during a follow up period under treatment. […] LVH Regression/prevention (LVH Regr/prev) was defined as: LVH at baseline visit with normal LVMI values at last visit or absence of LVH at baseline and last visit. […] The present study demonstrated that LVH regression was an independent predictor of BP control during a long follow up period. LVH regression or prevention of new-onset LVH may reliably predict the efficacy of antihypertensive therapy and thus help the improvement of cardiovascular risk stratification and the management of hypertension.

  Therefore, we investigated whether regression of ECG LVH using Cornell product criteria during antihypertensive treatment in the Losartan Intervention For Endpoint reduction in hypertension (LIFE) study was associated with a decrease in incident heart failure. […] The current study, however, was the first to study the association between ECG LVH regression and heart failure incidence. […] In this study, regression of ECG LVH with antihypertensive therapy was associated with a lower incidence of heart failure regardless of blood pressure lowering and other heart failure risk factors. […] We believe this was the first study to show this clear relationship. […] The data in this study suggest that a possible goal of antihypertensive therapy should be reduction of ECG LVH as well as blood pressure lowering. This may further reduce the incidence of heart failure. […] A reduction of Cornell product LVH in these patients is associated with fewer hospitalizations for heart failure independent of blood pressure lowering and other heart failure risk factors.

  Background Electrocardiographic markers of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) predict poor prognosis. We determined whether the ACE inhibitor ramipril prevents the development and causes regression of ECG-LVH and whether these changes are associated with improved prognosis independent of blood pressure reduction. […] By study end, 336 patients in the ramipril group (8.1%) compared with 406 in the placebo group (9.8%) had development/persistence of LVH; in contrast, 3799 patients in the ramipril group (91.9%) compared with 3740 in the placebo group (90.2%) had regression/prevention of LVH ( P =0.007). The effect of ramipril on LVH was independent of blood pressure changes. Patients who had regression/prevention of LVH had a lower risk of the predefined primary outcome (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke) compared with those who had development/persistence of LVH (12.3% versus 15.8%, P =0.006) and of congestive heart failure (9.3% versus 15.4%, P 0.0001). […] The ACE inhibitor ramipril decreases the development and causes regression of ECG-LVH independent of blood pressure reduction, and these changes are associated with reduced risk of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and congestive heart failure.

  We wish to stress upon the importance of HTN control as stated in the Guidelines – The purpose of HTN treatment is to prevent CVD caused by increased BP and to reduce mortality by controlling high BP. […] Thus, HT induces a compensatory thickening of the ventricular wall to normalize wall stress, which results in LV concentric hypertrophy, leading to decrease in the LV compliance and LV diastolic filling. This diastolic dysfunction has been recognised as a component of diastolic heart failure and a critical link between hypertension and heart failure. […] Till date, there is no successful therapy for diastolic heart failure and strategies directed towards prevention of this progression from hypertension to LVH and subsequent HFpEF hold the greatest promise for reducing the burden of HF.
