title: [Left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with nephrogenic arterial hypertension].
abstract: Incidence and geometric peculiarities of hypertrophy of the left ventricle of the heart (HLVH) were studied on the basis of findings from the echocardiographic investigation done in 86 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (ChGN) with arterial hypertension (AH), with the renal function being preserved and at the early stages of renal insufficiency. HLVH was detected in 30.2% of the patients, in 80.8% of whom it was concentric, and in 19.2% eccentric, in 76%--symmetric and in 23.1%--asymmetric. Incidence of HLVH did not correlate with sex, clinical variant of ChGN, renal function status, and increased with the degree and duration of AH. There was no difference in geometric peculiarities between sexes, clinical variants of ChGN, and no association with degree and duration of AH as well as with functional state of the kidneys.
