Discussion

Observational cohort evaluates echocardiographic changes over three years, suggesting lifestyle improvements may mitigate cardiac remodeling.

Left ventricular mass significantly increased from 173.99 g to 183.26 g over three years, showing cardiac remodeling.
Patients with uncontrolled blood pressure exhibited greater wall thickness, indicating ongoing cardiac strain despite treatment.
Observational cohort study monitored 131 hypertensive patients through annual echocardiographic assessments over three years.
Sustained lifestyle improvements correlated with reduced left ventricular mass progression, highlighting their role in hypertension management.

Dragomir et al. (2025) studied this question.
