The relationship of the hyperinsulinemic state to left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular geometric patterns, microalbuminuria, and physical fitness were studied in 52 middle-aged unmedicated men with borderline and mild hypertension. Left ventricular mass index and relative wall thickness were assessed by echocardiography. Physical fitness was determined by symptom-limited maximal treadmill stress testings. The urinary concentration of microalbumin and C-peptide was measured in 24-h urine samples by radioimmunoassey. The 24-h urinary C-peptide excretion rate was correlated with left ventricular mass index (r = 0.46), relative wall thickness (r = 0.41), treadmill time (r = -0.35), normalized treadmill time (r = -0.52), systolic blood pressure at peak exercise (r = 0.29), and 24-h urinary microalbumin excretion (r = 0.48). Stepwise multiple regression analysis identified the left ventricular mass index, the 24-h urinary albumin excretion, and the normalized treadmill time as variables in the equation for the 24-h urinary C-peptide excretion. Thus, the hyperinsulinemic state is related to left ventricular hypertrophy, microalbuminuria, and impaired physical fitness in patients with borderline and mild hypertension.
