How is LV geometry classified?

LV geometry uses LV mass index and RWT: normal (LVMi normal, RWT =0.42), eccentric hypertrophy (LVMi elevated, RWT =0.42).

What LV mass index cutoffs define hypertrophy?

LV hypertrophy: men >115 g/m2, women >95 g/m2 (indexed to BSA) per ASE. Indexing to height^2.7 reduces obesity effects: men >49.2 g/m^2.7, women >46.7 g/m^2.7.

Which LV geometry pattern has worst prognosis?

Concentric hypertrophy carries the worst cardiovascular prognosis, followed by eccentric hypertrophy, then concentric remodeling. Concentric hypertrophy confers 2-4x risk of cardiovascular events.

LV Mass Index Eccentric vs Concentric Hypertrophy

Classify LV geometry as normal, concentric remodeling, concentric hypertrophy, or eccentric hypertrophy using LV mass index and relative wall thickness (RWT).
