Key result
Aortic characteristic impedance was directly associated with left ventricular mass index (r=0.19, P<0.001) and relative wall thickness (r=0.14, P<0.01) in untreated hypertensive individuals.

Noninvasive estimation of aortic characteristic impedance is associated with left ventricular mass and geometry, highlighting its potential for bedside assessment of cardiovascular function despite methodological redundancies.
Effect estimate: r = 0.19
p-value: p=<0.001
Noninvasive estimation of aortic characteristic impedance is associated with left ventricular mass and geometry, highlighting its potential for bedside assessment of cardiovascular function despite methodological redundancies.
Butlin et al. (2014) conducted an editorial in Untreated hypertension (n=438). Aortic characteristic impedance was evaluated on Left ventricular mass index (r = 0.19, p=<0.001). Aortic characteristic impedance was directly associated with left ventricular mass index (r=0.19, P<0.001) and relative wall thickness (r=0.14, P<0.01) in untreated hypertensive individuals.
