Background and Objectives: Increased LV mass and LV hypertrophy creates a long-term risk of sudden death. Increased LV mass, which is evaluated by electrocardiography or echocardiography, is an independent risk factor the development of reduced left ventricular stroke volume, which itself increases the risk of heart attack. The purpose of this study is to compare the left ventricular mass (LVmass) in infants up 2 years old with normal and less than normal body mass index (BMI).
Methods: The study was conducted in 2021 on 101 infants up 2 years old with normal BMI and 81 infants with low BMI. All samples were subjected on the M-mode echocardiography and LV mass calculated for them using the Devereux formula, then the height and weight of all the participants were registered and BMI was calculated for all them, after that using Dubois & Dubois formula, the body surface area (BSA) was calculated for all subjects in the study and LVMI was obtained through the formula (LVmass / BSA).
Results: There was a significant difference in the distribution of people in term of LVMI between people with normal and low BMI. In both groups with normal and low BMI numerical values of BMI, waist circumference, height, age and weight were significantly and directly related to LVmass.
Conclusion: LV mass has a significant relation with normal and low BMI in infants
