Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) and Left Ventricular Geometric Patterns in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stage 2-5 With Preserved Ejection Fraction (EF) : A Systematic Review to Explore CKD Stage-wise LVH Patterns

• Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the most common structural abnormality associated with CKD patients accounting for 70% of the patients suffering LVH with ESRD. This art of the state review is first of its nature which aimed to analyze the studies involving LVH in CKD patients, and stage-wise association of CKD with various geometrical patterns of LVH. The literature search was done through various databases like PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHIL, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. After careful quality assessment a total of 7 studies, and 2121 patients were included in our study. The mean age of the patients was 61.5±12.4 years. Similarly, the mean value of eGFR was 39.81±13.71 ml/min. The incidence of LVH was 47.05%, and on stage-wise analysis, the higher CKD stage was associated with eccentric LVH as compared to lower stages. The ejection fraction (EF) values were showing preserved EF in all included studies. ESRD was showing more preponderance towards eccentric LVH as compared to other stages of CKD.
