Abstract
Left ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation increase dramatically with age (Figure 1). The prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) also increases with rising blood pressure and body mass index, a measure of obesity.2–4 Whether identified by electrocardiography or echocardiography, left ventricular hypertrophy has been shown to be associated with increased risk for coronary heart disease, sudden death, stroke, and overall cardiovascular disease.4,5This publication has 31 references indexed in Scilit:
