Body Mass Index, Left Ventricular Mass Index and Cardiovascular Events in Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2016 Obesity and left ventricular hypertrophy are prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the association of body mass index (BMI) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) with cardiovascular outcomes in patients with CKD is unclear. This study was designed to assess whether the combination of BMI and LVMI is independently associated with ...

Geographic variation in left ventricular mass and mass index: a systematic review [PDF]
Journal of Human Hypertension, 2011 Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, defined as an abnormal increase in LV mass (LVM), is an important prognostic indicator and therapeutic target. LVM is often divided by body surface area to derive indexed mass; however, this does not correctly identify pathological LV hypertrophy in all people, especially when body composition is altered, or in ...

Greater body mass index is a better predictor of subclinical cardiac damage at long-term follow-up in men than is insulin sensitivity:a prospective, population-based cohort study [PDF]
, 2015 To examine whether lower insulin sensitivity as determined by homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-%S) was associated with increased left ventricular mass (LVM) and presence of LV diastolic dysfunction at long-term follow-up, independently of body mass ...
