Left ventricular hypertrophy in blacks and whites: different genes or different exposure?
The evidence that blacks carry greater left ventricular (LV) mass than whites is almost indisputable, as recently confirmed by new epidemiological findings and analysis of previous literature.1,2 There are only a few studies denying this ethnic difference, a finding possibly attributable to selection of participants and distribution of risk factors.2 The conclusion that LV mass is greater in bl...

متن کاملLeft Ventricular Hypertrophy Is More Prevalent in Blacks Than Whites in the General Population
Although recent studies have suggested that blacks compared with whites have an increased prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy, it remains uncertain whether this is true despite adjustment for body composition (fat mass and fat-free mass) and when assessed by cardiac MRI in the general population. The Dallas Heart Study is a population-based study of Dallas County in which 1335 black and ...
متن کاملBiomarkers of left ventricular hypertrophy and remodeling in blacks.
Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, a marker for adverse cardiovascular events, is more common in blacks than in non-Hispanic whites. Mechanisms leading to LV hypertrophy and mediating its clinical sequelae in blacks are not fully understood. We investigated the associations of 39 candidate biomarkers in distinct biological pathways with LV mass and geometry in blacks. Participants included 1193...
