LVEDd, left ventricular diameter in diastole; PWTd, posterior wall thickness in diastole; IVSDd, interventricular septum in diastole. LV, left ventricular mass; LV mass indexed, left ventricular mass corrected for body weight. Values are from two-way repeated ANOVA and expressed as mean ± SEM. n = 5 per treatment group per age.
