Abstract
Both coronary artery calcium (CAC) deposits and increased left ventricular (LV) mass are important risk factors for coronary heart disease, but the relation between these 2 factors has rarely been studied. We examined the correlation of CAC and LV mass in 159 young to middle-aged African-Americans, and found that the average LV mass indexes were bigger in the CAC-positive groups than in CAC-negative groups in both genders (p = 0.0004 in men; p = 0.08 in women).Entities:
