View larger version (18K): [in a new window]   Figure 1 The bar graph displays the prevalence of various left ventricular geometries in siblings of subjects with LVH and matched controls. Remodeling and concentric LVH were significantly more prevalent in LVH-siblings, the opposite was true for normal LV geometry (p < 0.05, each). Solid bars = siblings; open bars = matched control groups.
