Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate left ventricular (LV) morphology and function in normotensive offspring of subjects with essential hypertension (familial trait - FT), and to determine the association between LV mass and determinants of LV diastolic function and endothelium-dependent (NO-mediated) dilation of the brachial artery (BA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study encompassed 76 volunteers of whom 44 were...
