Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Among Hypertensive Patients with Diminished Glomerular Filtration Rate.
Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elantary;
Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death for
patients with chronic kidney disease. Cardiovascular risk of
chronic kidney disease patients is significantly higher than in the
general population , and the risk of a fatal Cardiovascular event is
higher than the risk that their renal disease ,the increase of risk is
alarming for patients with end-stage renal disease .
Hypertension in itself represents a powerful risk factor for
Cardiovascular diseases in chronic kidney disease and is almost
invariably present in patients with renal failure.
Hypertension also plays a major role in cardiac damage in
chronic kidney disease via changes in left ventricular remodeling
and left ventricular hypertrophy induction .
Left ventricular hypertrophy is the most powerful risk factor
for coronary heart disease, ventricular arrhythmias, congestive heart
failure and sudden death.
The progressive increase of LVH prevalence and left
ventricular mass along with decreasing renal function.
