The remodeling types of the left ventricle (LV) and their association with cardiac arrhythmias have been studied in patients with arterial hypertension. Atrial fibrillation predominates in patients with eccentric LV hypertrophy. The risk of atrial fibrillation increases by 1.8 times with the larger sizes of the left atrium Ventricular premature beats are common in patients with he concentric remodeling and concentric hypertrophy of the LV. The increased LV mass index leads to a 3-fold rise- in the risk of ventricular contract beats and to its 1-fold rise when the relative LV wall thickness becomes increased.
