Abstract excerpt

In a prospective cohort of 181 individuals followed up since childhood--when aged 9, 12 and 15 years--patients with a family history of premature coronary heart disease (n=18) had higher left ventricular mass index in adulthood--at mean age of 31 years--compared with those without (mean±standard error 39.1±1.9 versus 34.6±0.7 g/m(2.7), p=0.04). The correlation between adult left ventricular mass index and child...
