There is a high burden of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) among African Americans. Measures of central aortic blood pressure (CASP) and wave reflection are predictive of CVD risk in adults, but there is a paucity of data regarding the relation of these measures to target organ damage among adolescents. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between CASP, central pulse pressure (CPP), and augmentation index (AI) with left ventricular mass index (LVMI).
