Background Previous studies have identified associations of left ventricular (LV) mass with demographic (body habitus and sex) and hemodynamic variables (blood pressure, stroke volume [SV], and myocardial contractility), but the relative strength and independence of these associations remain unknown.Methods and Results We examined the relations of echocardiographically determined LV mass to demographic variables, blood pressure, Doppler SV, and measures of contractility (end-systolic stress [ESS]/end-systolic volume index and mid-wall fractional shortening [MFS] as a percentage of predicted for circumferential end-systolic stress [stress-independent shortening]) in 1935 American Indian participants in the Strong Heart Study phase 2 examination without mitral regurgitation or segmental wail motion abnormalities. Weak positive relations of LV mass with systolic and diastolic pressures (r=.22, and r=.20) were exceeded by positive relations with height (r=.30), weight (r=.47), body mass index (r=.31), body surface area (r=.49), and Doppler SV (r=.50) and negative relations with ESS/volume index ratios (r=-.33 and -.29) and stress-independent MFS (r=-.26, all P
