Abstract: | Background: This study was aimed to know about the correlation between different measures of obesity and left ventricular mass of an individual. Material and Method: A total number of 54 normal healthy male volunteers were enrolled in the study from tertiary care teaching rural hospital and M mode echocardiography was performed. Result: Data were analyzed which shows positive correlation of left ventricular mass values with the obesity indices like BMI, Waist circumference and Waist to Hip ratio (W/H ratio). Group C is highly statistically significant (p<0.001) and positively correlated with LVM than other groups. Group C has 6 fold high risk to develop cardiac problems due to 6 times higher LVM than group A. Conclusion: W/H ratio shows more statistically significant results than WC and BMI. In addition to this the group C which includes obese participants with increased WC is at higher risk to develop left ventricular hypertrophy. |
