ABSTRACT
We evaluated the relationship between the variability in the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and different hemodynamic factors. LVMI was associated with blood pressure and, in one subgroup, strongly to arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV). High physical activity was connected to increased LVMI, and a combination of low stroke index (SI) and high heart rate (HR) to decreased LVMI.
