Add to ORKGBackground The aim of this study was to assess the influence of obesity and diabetes mellitus on left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with arterial hypertension. Material and methods Study population consisted of 554 patients with hypertension (62% men, 38% women), and 97 patients with hypertension and concomitant diabetes mellitus (DM) (61% men, 39% women). The mean age in these two groups was 53 ± 13 years v. 58 ± 8 years respectively. We performed echocardiography as well as blood pressure (twice) and waist and hip circumference measurements. Body mass index (BMI) was assessed. Results Left ventricular mass (LVM) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were significantly higher in the group with hypertension and concomitant ...
