Figure 1.
Four-chamber (A) and short-axis (B) views of the left ventricle in a 53-year old man with normal geometry (normal LVM/BSA of 64 g/m2, normal LVM/height2.7 of 28 g/m2.7, and normal RWT ratio 0.33) and no coronary artery disease. Four-chamber (C) and short-axis (D) views of the left ventricle in a 64-year old man with concentric remodeling (normal LVM/BSA of 97 g/m2, normal LVM/height2.7 of 44 g/m2.7, but increase RWT ratio 0.45) and coronary artery disease (12 segments of plaque). LVM denotes left ventricular mass; BSA, body mass index; and RWT, relative wall thickness.
