Abstract

In recent years several meta-analyses have been performed of studies in which the effect of various antihypertensive therapies on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) has been assessed. It is the purpose of this review to briefly discuss three of these meta-analyses. All data in the reviewed studies have been obtained with the echocardiographic technique.
