Abstract: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is traditionally classified as concentric or eccentric, based on the ratio of LV wall thickness to chamber dimension. We propose a 4-tiered LVH classification based on LV concentricity0.67(mass/end-diastolic volume0.67) and indexed LV end-diastolic volume (EDV).
