Conlon et al correlated the systolic blood pressure of stable hemodialysis patients with their left ventricular mass. The authors are from Duke University.
Parameters:
(1) mean systolic blood pressure over 24 hours
(2) predialysis systolic blood pressure
(3) left ventricular mass in grams per square meter BSA
If the data in Figure 2 (page 2661) is used to generate linear equations:
mass of the left ventricle in grams per square meter BSA =
