Twenty-nine presentations from an international congress held in February 1997 on the topic of left ventricular hypertrophy as an important and independent risk factor in cases of hypertension. The first section deals with the structural aspects and mechanisms of LVH. Sections two and three cover th

Left ventricular hypertrophy represents one of the most common complications of the hypertensive state. Indeed, since the Framigham Heart Study, several epidemiological studies have provided clearcut evidence that cardiac hypertrophy represents an important and independent risk factor for the hypertensive patient. Since the introduction of quantitative ultrasound techniques to evaluate cardiac function and state, the research in the field of left ventricular hypertrophy has been par- ticularly active and fruitful, allowing us to gain new information on the pathophysiology of this condition...

This volume addresses the increasing need for medical care aimed specifically at the elderly patient: in particular, the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The contributions stem from the 12th Scientific Meeting of the International Society of Hypertension held in Kyoto, Japan, in May 1988. They provide a comprehensive update to studies evaluating the effects of antihypertensive drug treatment on the elderly.
