Left ventricular mass (LVM) was significantly related to both the leg blood flow (r = -0.31, P < 0.05) and a Doppler-derived index of femoral arterial stiffness (r = 0.35, P < 0.05) in a sample of elderly men. Together with blood pressure, these two characteristics of peripheral blood flow explained 42% of the variation in LVM.
