Objectives American-style football (ASF) athletes are at risk for the development of concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (C-LVH), an established cardiovascular risk factor in the general ...

There is an adequate body of evidence that indicates that left ventricular hypertrophy is a marker for a shorter-than-normal life span. It has also been noted that achieving reductions in blood ...

At baseline, 1905 (12%) of VALUE patients were identified with LVH and 12,980 (85%) without LVH. Data were absent for 374 (2%) patients. The VALUE patients for LVH analysis thus comprised a larger ...

The concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D is not independently associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. The finding surprised investigators. Investigators believe the ethnic make-up of the study ...
