Key result
Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy was associated with the greatest risk of ischemic stroke (adjusted OR 3.5; 95% CI 2.0 to 6.2), followed by eccentric hypertrophy and concentric remodeling.
Why the study?
Does left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal left ventricular geometry increase the risk of first ischemic stroke in a multiethnic population?
Case-Control (n=807)
Does left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal left ventricular geometry increase the risk of first ischemic stroke in a multiethnic population?
Odds Ratio: 3.5 (95% CI 2–6.2)
Left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal left ventricular geometry, particularly concentric hypertrophy, are independently associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke across different age, sex, and race-ethnic subgroups.

O Fustinoni (2003) conducted a case-control in Ischemic stroke (n=807). Left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal LV geometry vs. Normal LV geometry was evaluated on Ischemic stroke risk (OR 3.5, 95% CI 2.0 to 6.2). Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy was associated with the greatest risk of ischemic stroke (adjusted OR 3.5; 95% CI 2.0 to 6.2), followed by eccentric hypertrophy and concentric remodeling.
