The aim of this study was to assess the regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after successful renal transplantation among uremic patients. In this study 27 uremic patients (18 males and 9 females) with an average age of 38.5 years were randomly selected. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was calculated before and after renal transplantation at the beginning, and at 4, 6 and 8 months. The means of LVMI before and after transplantation were 180±19.3 g/m2 and 133.8±16.8 g/m2 respectively (p LA eng UL http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-733-en.html M3 ER -
