Figure 2 Mean left ventricular mass adjusted for body height and stratified by age and time following irradiation. As previously described for the general population, left ventricular mass increases with age. However, for any age group, mass decreases as time following irradiation increases. Open bars = age <40 years; lined bars = age 40 to 50 years; solid bars = age >50 years.
