Relative Wall Thickness Concentric Remodeling

Calculate relative wall thickness (RWT = 2 x posterior wall thickness / LVEDD) to distinguish concentric remodeling from hypertrophy. RWT >=0.42 indicates concentric pattern.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculate relative wall thickness (RWT = 2 x posterior wall thickness / LVEDD) to distinguish concentric remodeling from hypertrophy. RWT >=0.42 indicates concentric pattern

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Hypertrophy — The hypertrophy recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the relative wall thickness result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the hypertrophy for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate relative wall thickness (RWT = 2 x posterior wall thickness / LVEDD) to distinguish concentric remodeling from hypertrophy. RWT >=0.42 indicates concentric pattern. Use the relative wall thickness result to inform your calculation.
