A prediction model for left ventricular mass in patients at high cardiovascular risk

Abstract: We present a prediction model for LV mass in hypertensives at high cardiovascular risk. After external validation, this model may be used in clinical practice to estimate LV mass for early identification of large LV mass. The predictions of the model may support appropriate medical care in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

“…Furthermore, we confirmed, in a larger sample size, our previous findings of greater LVM in adolescents with T1D with an even shorter disease duration (6). Increased LVM and left ventricular hypertrophy are strong independent predictors of future CVD (25, 26). The relatively favorable cardiac values observed in girls compared to boys in the control group were tempered in T1D.…”

“…An accurate prediction model identifying patients at high risk of LVH in the early stages might be useful in the prevention of cardiovascular events. Until now, only a small number of prediction models for left ventricular mass have been reported 6‐9 . However, most of these models were designed using the Caucasian populations.…”

“…However, this only increases the value of the association of albuminuria with LVM found, as presence of albuminuria is associated with a greater LVM several years later regardless of the course of renal function and albuminuria in the years between. Systolic blood pressure was remeasured at the time of the MRI with no significant changes found compared to the baseline (data not shown) . Also the time between inclusion in SMART and MRI did not have a significant relation to LV mass.…”
