Objectives: Few studies have addressed Black-White differences in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in young stroke patients without a history of hypertension.
Methods: A case-only cross-sectional analysis performed in 2019 of data from the Stroke Prevention in Young Adults Study, a population-based case-control study of ischemic stroke patients ages 15-49. The main outcomes were hypertension indicators at the time of stroke hospitalization: self-reported history of hypertension, LVH by echocardiography (Echo-LVH) and LVH by electrocardiogram (ECG-LVH).
Background And Purpose: Although the US Black population has a higher incidence of stroke compared with the US White population, few studies have addressed Black-White differences in the contribution of vascular risk factors to the population burden of ischemic stroke in young adults.
Methods: A population-based case-control study of early-onset ischemic stroke, ages 15 to 49 years, was conducted in the Baltimore-Washington DC region between 1992 and 2007. Risk factor data was obtained by in-person interview in both cases and controls.
