The prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in human essential hypertension is uncertain. Echocardiography was used to calculate left ventricular wall thickness (WT), relative wall thickness (t/r) and left ventricular mass (LVM) in 52 normal subjects, 30 patients with borderline hypertension and 33 untreated patients with essential hypertension. In 52 normal subjects WT was independent of age, sex, BSA, BP or habitual physical activity, but LVM was significantly related to BSA and age. After correction of LVM for age and BSA, 88% of 33 patients with untreated essential hypertension had LVM greater than predicted which identified a larger proportion of hypertensives with LVH than previous studies suggest. Wall thickness measurement alone also indicated that about 80% of newly diagnosed hypertensives have LVH.
