The main objective is to determine when concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) increased ventricular ectopic activity in essential hypertension. Twenty-four hours Holter monitoring was recorded in 56 patients with essential hypertension: 20 without LVH and 36 with concentric LVH determined by echocardiography (left ventricular mass greater than 215 g). According the degree of septal thickness (ST), patients were classed in 4 groups: (formula; see text) This study allows to conclude that mean and severe concentric LVH (ST greater than or equal to 12) detected by echo are associated with a greater PVC and a higher Lown's class ventricular ectopy. The degree of ST was strong correlated with the Lown's classification (r = 0.6, p less than .0001).

D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D005117 Cardiac Complexes, Premature A group of cardiac arrhythmias in which the cardiac contractions are not initiated at the SINOATRIAL NODE. They include both atrial and ventricular premature beats, and are also known as extra or ectopic heartbeats. Their frequency is increased in heart diseases.

D006332 Cardiomegaly Enlargement of the HEART, usually indicated by a cardiothoracic ratio above 0.50. Heart enlargement may involve the right, the left, or both HEART VENTRICLES or HEART ATRIA. Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (HEART FAILURE) or several forms of CARDIOMYOPATHIES.
