Resistive and Pulsatile Arterial Load as Predictors of Left Ventricular Mass and Geometry: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis [Epidemiology/Population]

In conclusion, various components of arterial load differentially associate with LV hypertrophy and concentric remodeling. Women demonstrated greater pulsatile load than men. For both LV mass and the LV wall/LV cavity volume ratio, the loading sequence (ie, early load versus late load) is an important determinant of LV response to arterial load.
