Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) mass and wall thickness are closely associated with measures of body size and blood pressure and also correlated with systolic and diastolic function, suggesting a contribution of common physiologic mechanisms, including pleiotropic genes, to their covariation. METHODS: Doppler echocardiography was performed in 434 African-American (1344 individuals) and 284 white families (1119...
