Reversibility of left ventricular hypertrophy before and after surgical treatment of renovascular hypertension.
The reversibility of left ventricular hypertrophy was evaluated on the basis of ECG recorded in 33 patients before and after surgical treatment of renovascular hypertension. One year after operation the ECG showed normalization in 45% of hypertensives with signs of left ventricular hypertrophy, improvement in 30% and no changes in 25%.
