TL;DR: The SIREN (Stroke Investigative Research and Education Network) study as mentioned in this paper showed that left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was more common in younger patients, suggesting a genetic component.

TL;DR: Significant numbers of hypertensive subjects in this study had varying degrees of left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and early introduction of disease-modifying drugs in these patients, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angioten receptor blockers may retard or prevent the progression to overt heart failure.
The burden of heart failure in Africa
TL;DR: The findings suggest that CV diseases in Abuja, Nigeria are mainly nonischaemic in origin and occur mainly in a younger and productive age group, and peripartum cardiomyopathy is not as common a cause of CV disease and HF as expected.

Relationship between 24-hour blood pressure pattern and left ventricular structure and function in hypertensive Nigerians.
TL;DR: This study has shown a stronger relationship between 24-hour mean blood pressure and left ventricular mass compared with casual blood pressure, however there is no statistical relationship between24-hourBlood pressure and indices ofleft ventricular systolic and diastolic function.
