Geometry of the left ventricular in the studied subgroups differing in cardiothoracic ratio.
| Enlarged heart silhouette (CTR > 0.50) | Nonenlarged heart silhouette (CTR ≤ 0.50) | p | |
|---|---|---|---|
| NGa | 0.0 (0) | 22.4 (15) | <0.05 |
| LVHa | 100.0 (29) | 77.6 (52) | <0.05 |
| CRa | 37.9 (11) | 53.7 (36) | ns |
| CHa | 34.5 (10) | 7.5 (5) | <0.05 |
| EHa | 27.6 (8) | 16.4 (11) | ns |
aQualitative variable expressed as a percentage (number); CH: concentric hypertrophy of the left ventricular; CR: concentric remodeling of the left ventricular; CTR: cardiothoracic ratio; EH: eccentric hypertrophy of the left ventricular; LVH: left ventricular hypertrophy; NG: normal geometry of the left ventricular.
