From: Echocardiography-based left ventricular mass estimation. How should we define hypertrophy?
1. Imaging – Mode and Acquisition |
2. Estimating Left Ventricular Volume |
3. Defining Border Limits – Conventions of Layer Measurements |
4. Calculating Mass – LV Mass Formulas |
5. Indexing for Body Size |
6. Determining Cut-off Points |
   a. Using a reference sample (normality/statistical criteria) |
   b. Using prognostic data (driven by clinical endpoint) |
7. Evaluation of Left Ventricular Structure |
8. Role of Additional Factors in LVM Determination |
9. Clinical Correlates Associated with LVH |
