Abstract excerpt

Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy in adults is a recognized risk factor for the subsequent development of cardiovascular morbidity. To make informed preventive health decisions it is important to understand the interaction of genes and environment on LV mass. In both children and adults, weight is a strong correlate of LV mass. We hypothesized that genetic influences common to both of these variables could in...
