Introduction: We investigated the association between echocardiographic (Echo) left ventricular mass (LVM) indexed to body surface area (LVM/BSA) or height2.7 (LVM/H2.7) and electrocardiographic (ECG) variables in

546 Chinese hypertensives. Methods: The study group was stratified by gender and by BMI into obese (BMI 28 kg/m2), overweight (BMI 24 kg/m2 and BMI ................
