• 1 Etiology of left ventricular hypertrophy.- 2 The role of vascular failure in heart failure.- 3 Perfusion abnormalities in the hypertrophied left ventricle: Link between compensated hypertrophy and heart failure?.- 4 Assessment of left ventricular hypertrophy: a comparison of electrocardiography, echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging.- 5 Hypertrophy and hypertension.- 6 Left ventricular hypertrophy: pathology versus physiology.- 7 The athlete’s heart: a physiological or a pathological phenomenon?.- 8 Left ventricular hypertrophic heart disease studied by MR imaging and 31P-MR spectroscopy.- 9 Hypertrophy and arrhythmias.- 10 Left ventricular hypertrophy: reversal by antihypertensive therapy.- 11 Postoperative regression of left ventricular hypertrophy.- 12 Myocardial hypertrophy and failure: a molecular approach.- 13 Hypertrophy: clinical relevance of genotype. Einthoven lecture 1999.

'This book presents an excellent overview of today's understanding of left ventricular hypertrophy and the research directions that are being pursued. It is therefore of great value for all medical specialists and basic scientists who are interested in this field.' Johan H.C. Reiber in International Journal of Cardiac Imaging, 16 (2000)
