Insulin resistance may not influence 24-h BP or LVMI in nonobese hypertension; leaves open nocturnal systolic pressure as a correlate of LV mass.
Does insulin resistance influence the 24-hour blood pressure profile or left ventricular mass index in nonobese hypertensive patients?
In nonobese hypertensive patients, insulin resistance does not appear to influence the 24-hour blood pressure profile or left ventricular mass index.
Costa et al. (1995) studied this question.
