Concentric left ventricular remodeling and aortic stiffness: a comparison of obesity and hypertension.
BACKGROUND: Increased thoracic ascending aortic stiffness is thought to contribute to concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and increased mortality, a pattern seen in hypertension. As such, aortic stiffness and increased left ventricular mass are candidates by which obesity increases cardiovascula...
