LV Mass Independently Predicts Mortality and Need for Future Revascularization in Patients Undergoing Diagnostic Coronary Angiography

Conclusions LV mass index is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality and need for revascularization. This finding establishes relevance for LV mass measurements in clinical decision-making surrounding both the need and timing of revascularization in this population.
