| LVMI | 84.6 | 106.2 | 110 | 125 |

The upper limit of normal (95th percentile) for LVM determined by cardiac MR is reported as nonindexed (in grams) and indexed to body surface area (m2), height (H in meters), and/or weight (W in kg) (12). The upper limit of normal (95th percentile) for LVI mass determined by echocardiography from earlier studies in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is shown for comparison (7,16). LV, left ventricular; MR, magnetic resonance; LVM, LV mass; LVMI, LVM index; ppLVmassH, percent predicted LVM based on height and gender; ppLVmassHW, percent predicted LVM based on height, weight, and gender.
