title: Insulin resistance syndrome and left ventricular mass in an elderly population (The Rotterdam Study).
abstract: In a study of elderly men and women, age, body mass index, and systolic blood pressure (and in men, also glucose) were significant predictors of left ventricular mass. Postload insulin was not independently associated with left ventricular mass.
