prazosin and Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular

prazosin has been researched along with Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular in 10 studies

Prazosin: A selective adrenergic alpha-1 antagonist used in the treatment of HEART FAILURE; HYPERTENSION; PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA; RAYNAUD DISEASE; PROSTATIC HYPERTROPHY; and URINARY RETENTION.
prazosin : A member of the class of piperazines that is piperazine substituted by a furan-2-ylcarbonyl group and a 4-amino-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-2-yl group at positions 1 and 4 respectively.

Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular: Enlargement of the LEFT VENTRICLE of the heart. This increase in ventricular mass is attributed to sustained abnormal pressure or volume loads and is a contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

" Twenty five unmedicated patients with primary hypertension were randomised to initial therapy with either the calcium antagonist, felodipine, or a diuretic and doses titrated to achieve similar levels of blood pressure (BP)."5.08Assessment of effects of two anti-hypertensive regimens on overall cardiovascular risk. ( Jennings, GL; Korner, P; Laufer, E; Reid, C; Sudhir, K, 1995)
"Patients with mild to moderate hypertension (diastolic blood pressure, 95 to 109 mm Hg) were randomly allocated to treatment with atenolol, captopril, clonidine, diltiazem, hydrochlorothiazide, or prazosin in a double-masked trial."5.08Effect of single-drug therapy on reduction of left ventricular mass in mild to moderate hypertension: comparison of six antihypertensive agents. The Department of Veterans Affairs Cooperative Study Group on Antihypertensive Agents. ( Anderson, RJ; Gottdiener, JS; Massie, BM; Materson, BJ; Reda, DJ; Williams, DW, 1997)
"We examined the acute effects of elevated wall stress, norepinephrine, and angiotensin II on cardiac protein synthesis as well as protooncogene expression in hearts with established pressure overload left ventricular hypertrophy."3.69Alteration of growth responses in established cardiac pressure overload hypertrophy in rats with aortic banding. ( Bruckschlegel, G; Lorell, BH; Riegger, AJ; Schunkert, H; Weinberg, EO, 1995)
"CARDIOVASCULAR RISK OF LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY: Because of the rhythmic, mechanical and ischemic risk related to it, the left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is considered to be a major independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease which should be screened for and treated early."2.70[Management of hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy]. ( Ambrosioni, E, 2002)
"High sodium diet (HS, 8% NaCl) induces left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in normotensive rats without an increase in pressure or volume load or in resting cardiac sympathetic activity."1.30alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor blockade fail to prevent high sodium diet-induced left ventricular hypertrophy. ( Harmsen, E; Leenen, FH; Song, D, 1997)
