In the hypertensive heart, epicardial arteries are not enlarged, despite increased total coronary flow related to augmented cardiac workload, wall stress, and left ventricular (LV) mass. The aims of this study were to assess the impact of different hemodynamic factors and LV mass on baseline left main coronary artery (LMA) size in hypertensive LV hypertrophy (LVH) and physiologic LVH, used as a pressure-independent model of hypertrophy.
