AIMS: To assess the heritability (i.e. relative contribution of genetic factors to the variability) of continuous measures of left ventricular hypertrophy determined by electrocardiography and echocardiography. METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied 955 members of 229 Caucasian families, ascertained throug...
