Cardiac and vascular structure and function are related to lipid peroxidation and metabolism

The present study investigated possible relationships between left ventricular mass, intima‐media thickness of the carotid artery (IMT), total arterial compliance, and lipid status in a population sample of 58 apparently healthy subjects aged 20 to 69. By stepwise multiple regression analysis, inclu...

Zusammenfassung:The present study investigated possible relationships between left ventricular mass, intima‐media thickness of the carotid artery (IMT), total arterial compliance, and lipid status in a population sample of 58 apparently healthy subjects aged 20 to 69. By stepwise multiple regression analysis, including age, blood pressure, and smoking, left ventricular mass index, measured by M‐mode echocardiography, increased by 13.0 g/m2 for each 1 standard deviation (SD=0.11 μM, r=0.60, P
