ABSTRACT
The study comprised 40 patients with ISH, 21 males and 19 females, their age ranged between 60-80 years [mean 65 +/- 7.25] and 20 healthy subjects of matched age and sex as a control group. This study revealed highly significant increase in left ventricular mass [LVM] and left ventricular mass Index [LVMI] in the whole test group versus control group while a non significant differences were observed in these parameters when comparing male versus female subgroups; subgroup with body mass index [BMI] >30 versus subgroup with BMI <30, and subgroup with hypertension HTN >5 years versus subgroup with HTN <5 years. A nonsignificant increase in LVM and LVMI in subgroup with mild ISH versus control, while a significant increase in these parameters was observed in subgroups with moderate and severe IS versus control and between the 3 subgroups of mild, moderate and severe ISH
