Increase in left-ventricular mass has become an important risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although, there is an obvious change in the cardiac size with respect to age and the hypertrophic stimuli, it is very different in men and women. In men the left ventricular mass may remain constant with age, while in women it increases with age. These findings are even more pronounced in women more than 50 years of age who have attained menopause. This study is to show that even though left ventricular mass increases in menopausal women compared to younger women in the reproductive age group, it is more severe in women who have hypertension.
