Figure 6. Patterns of left ventricular remodelling.

Figure 6

Four left ventricular (LV) remodelling patterns can be defined according to the left ventricular mass and the ratio of the LV mass to the LV cavity size: Normal pattern: both LV mass and mass/cavity ratio are normal; Concentric remodelling: the LV mass is normal but the mass/cavity ratio is increased (thick LV walls with small cavity); Concentric hypertrophy: both LV mass and mass/cavity ratio are increased; Eccentric remodelling: LV mass is increased but the mass/cavity ratio is normal (thickness of LV walls is normal or slightly increased and the LV cavity is enlarged).
