The Cardiovascular Risk Factor, Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, Is Highly Prevalent in Stable, Treated Angina Pectoris

We conclude that echo LVH is very common in patients with stable, treated angina and the majority of these patients had a nonhypertensive BP at the time of study. Studies are now required to determine whether identifying and vigorously treating LVH in CAD would reduce the risk of premature death in these patients.
