Abstract excerpt
Earlier studies showed association of the human SAH (Spontaneously hypertensive rat-clone A-Hypertension associated) gene with hypertension and obesity. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) increases with blood pressure and body mass index. In a family-based population study (54.5% women; mean age, 43.1 years), we measured LVMI, mean wall thickness (MWT) and the left ventricular internal diameter (LVID) at...
