In 95 apparently healthy normotensive men aged 21-69 (mean 44) years with supine blood pressure (BP) less than 150/90 mmHg when less than 50 years, and less than 160/95 when greater than or equal to 50 years of age, left ventricular mass (LVM) was measured by M-mode echocardiography and related to maximal BP during a symptom-limited ergometer bicycle test. Mean LVM was 195 (+/- 43) g and LVM index (I) 101 (+/- 20) g m-2 body surface area (BSA). The subjects were subdivided into two groups: Group 1 = 28 subjects (29%) with LVM greater than or equal to 220 g, and Group 2 = 67 subjects (71%) with LVM less than 220 g. Group 1 had a slightly larger BSA (P less than 0.05), weight (P less than 0.05) and resting systolic BP (P less than 0.05). A higher prevalence of smokers (P less than 0.01) and serum cholesterol levels (P less than 0.05) were also noted among Group 1 subjects, who had a higher maximal systolic BP during exercise (P less than 0.0001). Using linear regression analysis, significant positive correlations were observed between LVM and systolic BP at rest (r = 0.20, P less than 0.05), and maximal exercise systolic BP (r = 0.32, P less than 0.001). When correcting for differences in age, weight, body surface area, physical performance, smoking and hours of exercise per week, multiple regression analysis revealed a significant between LVM and maximal systolic BP (t = 2.38, P = 0.020, Partial F = 5.64).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
