- Abstract
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is both common and an important predictor of risk of death in end-stage renal failure (ESRF). In mild to moderate chronic renal failure (CRF), the timing of onset of LVH and the factors involved in its initial development have not been fully elucidated. The present study was undertaken to examine the prevalence and potential determinants of echocardiographically determined LVH in this connection, and to compare 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) recordings with BP measured at a previous clinic visit.
