Of them, 130 patients (77 years, 45% male patients, left ventricular ejection fraction 62%) with available CV characterization within \u00b112 months from CT surgery were included. Abnormal loading conditions causing cardiac left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) were investigated to distinguish explained LVH (Ex-LVH) from unexplained LVH (Un-LVH). LVH was found in 66 (51%) patients, 33% of them presented Un-LVH. Compared with the others, Un-LVH patients were older (77 and 75 vs. 70 years in Un-LVH, Ex-LVH, and non-LVH, respectively; P = 0.002), had higher rates of electrocardiogram-echo discrepancy (70%, 14.3%, and 1.6%, respectively; P &amp;lt; 0.001) and of echocardiographic findings of CA (24%, 7%, and 0%, P &amp;lt; 0.001). Among Un-LVH patients, 9 (43%) experienced death and 7 (33%) developed heart failure (HF) at 3.8 and 2.4 years from CT surgery, respectively. Compared with the others, death and HF development rates were higher in Un-LVH patients both at unadjusted (P = 0.01 and P = 0.02, respectively) and adjusted analysis for age, gender, and renal insufficiency (P = 0.00038 and P = 0.050, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>At the time of CT surgery, Un-LVH was found in more than 30% of patients with LVH, and 24% of them showed echocardiographic features suggesting an underdiagnosed CA.
