Abstract
|
|
Myocardial remodeling of the hypertensive patient
producing regression of the ventricular mass and preservation of the left ventricular
function will be discussed with emphasis on the clinical implication of these mechanisms.
Also the possible basic mechanisms of this process will be discussed.
