Abstract

The significance of ventricular hypertrophy in the genesis of ventricular tachyarrhythmias cannot be over-emphasized. Left ventricular hypertrophy, as a consequence of arterial hypertension, influences the three factors involved in the prognosis and we express these as a triangle of risk: electrical instability, left ventricular dysfunction and ischaemia.
