Is inappropriate left ventricular mass associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease events and mortality in blacks without LVH?
Is inappropriate left ventricular mass associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease events and mortality in blacks without LVH?
Inappropriate left ventricular mass identifies increased cardiovascular risk in Black patients even in the absence of traditional left ventricular hypertrophy.
May inform risk stratification in Blacks without LVH; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
