Prognostic implications of left ventricular hypertrophy defined by the thresholds from the international and Chinese guidelines.

ABSTRACT: To compare the predictive value of mortality between left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) defined by Chinese thresholds and defined by international guidelines in hypertension individuals and investigate better indexation methods for LVH in Chinese population. We included 2454 community hypertensive patients with Left ventricular mass (LVM) and relative wall thickness. LVM was indexed to body surface area (BSA), height^{2 7} and height ^{1 7} . The outcomes were all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Cox proportional hazards models were used to explore the association between LVH and the outcomes. C-statistics and time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the value of those indicators. During a median follow-up of
