Abstract

Echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy was present in 120 of 160 patients (75%) (mean age 72 +/- 8 years) with systemic hypertension, coronary artery disease, and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and in 43 of 94 age- and gender-matched patients (46%) with systemic hypertension, coronary artery disease, and no PAD (p<0.001). Echocardiographic LV hypertrophy was present in 63 of 68 patients with PAD (93%) with ankle-brachial indexes (ABIs) of <0.60 and in 57 of 92 patients (62%) with ABIs of 0.60 to 0.89 (p<0.001).
