Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a critical factor in heart failure and cardiovascular event-related mortality. While the prevalence of LVH in diabetic patients is well-documented, its occurrence and risk factors in non-diabetic populations remain largely unexplored. This study addresses this i...
