Left ventricular hypertrophy and increased relative wall thickness are independent predictors of ischemic stroke risk, providing additional value in risk prediction.
Abstract
LVH and abnormal LV geometry are independently associated with increased stroke risk. LVH is strongly associated with ischemic stroke in all age, sex, and race-ethnic subgroups. Increased LV relative wall thickness imparts an increased stroke risk after adjustment for LV mass and is of additional value in stroke risk prediction.
