Effect of INHD Conversion on Left Ventricular Mass

	Estimate (Standard Error)
Level of LVM at the conversion date (g)	212.9 (9.9) *
Annual change in LVM before the INHD conversion date (g/year)	0.4 (2.5)
Annual change in LVM following the INHD conversion date (g/year)	-11.7 (3.1)*
Difference in annual change in LVM following and prior to INHD conversion (g/year)	-12.1(4.8) *

The results are based on estimates from a mixed model analysis. They include all patients who converted to INHD who had at least 2 echocardiograms performed at anytime (n = 40). All available echocardiograms for these patients were considered in these analyses (n = 184).
