Left ventricular mass and urinary metabolomics in young black and white adults: The African-PREDICT study

Increased left ventricular mass is an independent predictor for cardiovascular events, and shown to be higher in black than white populations. To gain a better understanding of early factors contributing to increased left ventricular mass in young black adults, we investigated metabolomic profiles, identified and compared metabolites that associated with left ventricular mass index in healthy black and white adults.
