Table 1.
Accepted criteria and cut-off values for left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular mass by currently available imaging techniques.
| Imaging technique | Male g/m2 | Female g/m2 |
|---|---|---|
| Echocardiography | ||
| M-mode LVM indexed BSA | >125 | >110 |
| 2D echo LVM indexed BSA | >102 | >88 |
| Cardiac magnetic resonance | ||
| TGE LVM indexed BSA | >96 | >77 |
| SSFP indexed BSA | >83 | >67 |
BSA: Body surface area; LVH: Left ventricular hypertrophy; LVM: Left ventricular mass; SSFP: Steady-state free precession; TGE: Turbo gradient echo.
