Popis: In a framework of a population study in Tallinn triple blood pressure measurements, electro- and echocardiography were carried out in 398 women (82.6% of all participants) aged 35-59. Left ventricular hypertrophy (left ventricular massor=198 g, left ventricular mass/height ratioor=121 g/m, left ventricular mass/body surface area ratioor=120 g/m2) was found in 43% of these women. Distribution of variants of left ventricular remodeling was as follows: concentric hypertrophy - 9.1%, eccentric hypertrophy - 33.9%, concentric remodeling - 9.5%, normal myocardial geometry - 47.5%. Only concentric hypertrophy was associated with elevated blood pressure and obesity frequency of both of which increased with age.
