Effect of insulin resistance on left ventricular remodelling in essential hypertensives: a cross-sectional study
Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia did not have the same influence on the components of Devereux's formula. Insulin resistance appeared to act on left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, while hyperinsulinaemia affected the posterior wall thickness. Both abnormalities acted on the interventricular septum and contributed to diastolic dysfunction via the E-wave deceleration time.
