Remodeling of the left ventricle in hypertensive patients

This article is devoted to the study of left ventricular remodeling processes in patients with different duration of hypertension history. The urgency of the problem lies in the fact that not only the increase in the mass of the left ventricle, but also the type of its geometric changes determines the risk of mortality of patients from cardiovascular complications. Cardiac remodeling precedes clinical manifestations of heart failure and accompanies them, as well as independently exacerbates the manifestations of diastolic and systolic ventricular dysfunction, is a serious independent prognostic risk factor for arrhythmias, coronary heart disease, strokes and sudden death. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 40 case histories of patients who were on inpatient treatment in GBUZ RM Republican hospital. Depending on the length of the disease, the subjects were divided into two groups: with the duration of the disease up to and more than 10 years. Echocardiography data were used to describe the nature of left ventricular remodeling...
