Key result
Left ventricular hypertrophy and previous antihypertensive treatment were confirmed as significant risk factors for mortality among 24,390 hypertensive patients (1,726 deaths over 5 years).
Cohort (n=24,390)
Yes
Left ventricular hypertrophy and previous antihypertensive treatment are significant risk factors for cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive patients, whereas the prognostic value of diastolic blood pressure is age-dependent.

LVH and prior antihypertensive treatment warrant closer risk stratification in hypertensives; confirms their independent mortality association in large-scale data.
Gueyffier et al. (1999) conducted a cohort in Hypertension (n=24,390). Left ventricular hypertrophy and previous antihypertensive treatment were confirmed as significant risk factors for mortality among 24,390 hypertensive patients (1,726 deaths over 5 years).
