Hypertension is associated with markers of cardiovascular end–organ damage such as left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. As such, LV hypertrophy is often thought to be a long–standing consequence of hypertension. However, some evidence suggests that increased LV mass precedes the onset of hypertension Prospective studies have demonstrated a relation of higher levels of LV mass, assessed by echocardiography, with subsequent increases in blood pressure.Hence this study was undertaken in 200 individuals to study the correlation between left ventricular wall thickness and blood pressure.The study showed a positive correlation between left ventricular wall thickness and blood pressure.
