Determinants of left ventricular mass and presence of metabolic risk factors in normotensive individuals

Abstract Background Insulin resistance and obesity are recognized as left ventricular (LV) mass determinants independent of blood pressure (BP). Prevalence of LV hypertrophy (LVH) and the relationship between LV mass to body composition and metabolic variables were evaluated in normotensive individu...
