Our aim was to determine the risk factors associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) among 89 untreated children with primary hypertension (HTN). Clinic hypertension was confirmed by 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring. Left ventricular mass index was calculated as LVM (g)/height (m) 2.7, and LVH was defined as LVMI >95th percentile. Children with (n = 32) and without LVH (n = 57) were compared. Both obesity and systolic BP were independently associated with LVH, with a higher contribution by the BMI. Obesity contributed significantly, with a nearly 9 fold increased risk of LVH. There was evidence of effect modification by the presence or absence of obesity on the relationship between systolic BP and LVH, whereby the relationship existed mainly in the non-obese rather than the obese children. Hence, to achieve reversal of LVH, clinicians should take into account both BP control and weight management.
