Abstract
The development of high blood pressure leads to an increased hemodynamic afterload to the heart, wich is compensated by an increase of cardiac mass in order to maintain the cardiac output. However,despite the casual link between high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) clinical studies do not show a close correlation between blood pressure level and the degree of LVH (1).
