Assess left ventricular hypertrophy from echo measurements.
LV mass is calculated using the ASE-recommended formula: 0.8 × 1.04 × [(IVSd + LVIDd + PWTd)³ − LVIDd³] + 0.6 g. LV mass index = LV mass / BSA. LVH is defined as LVMI > 115 g/m² in men and > 95 g/m² in women. LVH is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events.
