Cardiac magnetic resonance characteristics and prognostic associations of hypertension-mediated left ventricular hypertrophy.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Hypertension-mediated left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) phenotypes: normal left ventricle (LV), LV remodelling, eccentric and concentric LVH have been reported using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Although previous smaller studies have explored associations of these phenotypes with select CMR metrics, large population-based longitudinal data comparing their clinical trajectories are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate CMR characteristics across hypertension-mediated LVH phenotypes and their associations with incident cardiovascular outcomes.

Methods and results

In the UK Biobank imaging cohort, 24 463 hypertensives were categorized into LVH phenotypes using CMR. Logistic regression models explored the relationship between phenotypes, setting normal LV as the refer
