Table 1. Classification table showing left ventricular mass index (LVMI) cut off values used to establish left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and relative wall thickness (RWT) cut off values to define left ventricular geometry. CH − concentric hypertrophy; CR − concentric remodeling; EH − eccentric hypertrophy; LVH − left ventricular hypertrophy; LVMI − left ventricular mass index; N − normal .
