Insulin resistance may associate with myocardial wall thickness in hypertensive men; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Cross-Sectional (n=26)
Effect estimate: r = -0.50
p-value: p=<.009
In men with essential hypertension, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance are primarily associated with increased myocardial wall thickness rather than specific left ventricular geometric patterns.
Giuseppe Paolisso (1997) conducted a cross-sectional in Essential hypertension (n=26). Myocardial wall thickness and abnormal LV geometry vs. Normal geometric LV pattern was evaluated on Whole body glucose disposal (WBGD) (r = -0.50, p=<.009). In men with essential hypertension, the sum of myocardial wall thickness was significantly correlated with whole body glucose disposal (r = -0.50, P<.009).
