Orthostatic leg pulse pressure was independently associated with left ventricular mass (r = 0.37; P<0.001) and wall thickness (r = 0.38; P<0.001) in normotensive subjects.

Hypothesis-generating for postural hemodynamics in LV remodeling; prospective studies needed before clinical consideration in normotensives.
Cross-Sectional (n=130)
Effect estimate: r = 0.37
p-value: p=<0.001
Orthostatic leg blood pressure is independently associated with left ventricular mass and wall thickness in healthy normotensive individuals, suggesting a potential role of postural hemodynamic changes in cardiac remodeling.
Gemignani et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Normotensive subjects (n=130). Orthostatic leg blood pressure measurement was evaluated on Correlation between orthostatic pulse pressure and left ventricular mass (r = 0.37, p=<0.001). Orthostatic leg pulse pressure was independently associated with left ventricular mass (r = 0.37; P<0.001) and wall thickness (r = 0.38; P<0.001) in normotensive subjects.
