Assessing the influence of cardiovascular parameters as risk factors for the development of eccentric left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) by means of loading coefficient

BACKGROUND. Cardiovascular diseases (hereinafter referred to as CVS) remain an important and pressing issue among public health and healthcare issues, as evidenced by the fact that about half of all causes of death among the adult population of the Russian Federation are associated with CVS diseases. One of the leading risk factors for their development is arterial hypertension and hypertension, especially in the context of risk factors in patients over 65 years of age.
