Abstract
Increase in left-ventricular mass has become an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although, there is an obvious change in the cardiac size with respect to age and the hypertrophic stimuli, it is very different in men and women. In men the left ventricular mass may remain constant with age, while in women it increases with age. These findings are even more pronounced in women more than 50 years of age who have attained menopause. This study is to show that even though left ventricular mass increases in menopausal women compared to younger women in the reproductive age group, it is more severe in women who have hypertension.
Highlights
Premenopausal women have a lower risk of is not seen in their males
Some studies reports that the loss of the cardioprotective effect of estrogen after menopause may have a major role in the deterioration of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in elderly women
Among the control group 23 participants were females and 27 participants are males. In this current study there was high statistical correlation found for gender and the left ventricular mass
Summary
Premenopausal women have a lower risk of is not seen in their males. Premenopausal coronary heart disease than age-matched men, women with essential hypertension have thinner whereas after menopause the male-female ratio posterior left ventricular walls and better cardiac of coronary heart disease death declines. Krishna et al.; JPRI, 32(14): 50-53, 2020; Article no.JPRI.54172 women with systolic hypertension or aortic stenos is have better preserved left ventricular systolic function than their male counterparts. Some studies reports that the loss of the cardioprotective effect of estrogen after menopause may have a major role in the deterioration of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in elderly women. The aim is to study the left ventricular mass of patients having both hypertension and diabetes in women who have attained menopause
