Estimate of ischemic stroke prevalence according to a novel 4-tiered classification of left ventricular hypertrophy: Insights from the general Chinese population.

CONCLUSIONS: Indeterminate and thick hypertrophy were significantly associated with the presence of ischemic stroke in the general Chinese population. The new 4-tiered categorization of LVH can permit a better understanding of which subjects are at high enough risk for ischemic stroke to warrant early targeted therapy.
