Echocardiography-based left ventricular mass estimation. How should we define hypertrophy?

Abstract: Left ventricular hypertrophy is an important risk factor in cardiovascular disease and echocardiography has been widely used for diagnosis. Although an adequate methodologic standardization exists currently, differences in measurement and interpreting data is present in most of the older clinical studies. Variability in border limits criteria, left ventricular mass formulas, body size indexing and other adjustments affects the comparability among these studies and may influence both the clinical and epidemiolo… Show more

“…While latelife treatment with losartan reduced PWT in the aged F344BNF rat when compared with vehicle, relative wall thicknesses were not substantially affected by either RAS inhibitor in this study. Indeed, PWT and its relation to chamber size is a well-recognized measure of hypertrophy (Foppa et al 2005). Taken together with the lack of an affect of enalapril or losartan on cardiac collagen deposition, these findings suggest that attenuation of age-related structural remodeling has minimal impact on the functional response to low-dose RAS blockade in old F344BN male rats.…”

“…The EF%, LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes were calculated using the Simpson biplan method. The LV mass was calculated from end-diastolic LV internal diameter, interventricular septum and posterior wall dimensions using the ASE formula [33,34], and indexed for body surface calculated with the Dubois formula.…”
