Left ventricular remodeling and hypertrophy in patients with aortic stenosis: insights from cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Table 2 Univariate analysis of the association between the indexed left ventricular mass and different independent variables

Variable	Mean difference in Indexed Mass(g/m²)	Confidence Intervals	P value
Age >66 years	7.5	-3.4–18.4	0.17
Male	13.8	2.8–24.7	0.02
Moderate Aortic Stenosis	3.9	-7.6–15.5	0.50
Bicuspid	-7.3	-18.4–3.9	0.20
Hypertension	9.9	-1.1–20.9	0.08
Diabetes mellitus	11.9	-3.6–27.4	0.13
ACE Inhibitor/ARB	11.2	-1.00–23.3	0.07
β-Blocker	3.2	-11.2–17.6	0.66

Male sex was the only variable associated with a significant increase in the LV mass index, being 13.8 g/m² higher in males than females. There was no difference in LV mass between patients with moderate and severe aortic stenosis.
