lüll Echocardiography-based left ventricular mass estimation How should we define hypertrophy?Foppa M; Duncan BB; Rohde LECardiovasc Ultrasound 2005[Jun]; 3 (ä): 17Left ventricular hypertrophy is an important risk factor in cardiovascular disease and echocardiography has been widely used for diagnosis. Although an adequate methodologic standardization exists currently, differences in measurement and interpreting data is present in most of the older clinical studies. Variability in border limits criteria, left ventricular mass formulas, body size indexing and other adjustments affects the comparability among these studies and may influence both the clinical and epidemiologic use of echocardiography in the investigation of the left ventricular structure. We are going to review the most common measures that have been employed in left ventricular hypertrophy evaluation in the light of some recent population based echocardiographic studies, intending to show that echocardiography will remain a relatively inexpensive and accurate tool diagnostic tool.|Clinical Trials as Topic[MESH]|Heart Ventricles/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular/complications/*diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted/*methods[MESH]|Imaging, Three-Dimensional/*methods[MESH]|Practice Guidelines as Topic[MESH]|Severity of Illness Index[MESH]|Ultrasonography[MESH]|Ventricular Dysfunction, Left/complications/*diagnostic imaging[MESH] |
