<h4>Background</h4> Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) associated with hypertension (HTN) is a predictor of cardiovascular (CV) events in adulthood. LVH is defined using left ventricular mass indexed to height 2.7 (LVMI-ht 2.7 ) with current guidelines using the adult cutoff of 51 g/ht 2.7 ; however, the pediatric cutoff is lower.
