• Left ventricular function changed slightly but significantly between 20-69 years. • Reference values of BSA-indexed myocardial mass decreased with age in males. • Hypertension was associated with lower LV end-diastolic volume only in males. • CMR may allow assessing remodelling related to hypertension or antihypertensive treatment.
