Table 3 The diagnostic criteria of LV geometrical configuration.

From: Cathepsin B in human peripheral blood lymphocytes as a peripheral biomarker for cardiac hypertrophy

Geometry

LVMI (g/m2)

LVRWT

NG

< 115 (men), < 95 (women)

< 0.43

CR

< 115 (men), < 95 (women)

≥ 0.43

CH

≥ 115 (men), ≥ 95 (women)

≥ 0.43

EH

≥ 115 (men), ≥ 95 (women)

< 0.43

  1. LVMI left ventricular mass index, LVRWT left ventricular relative wall thickness, NG normal geometry, CR centripetal remodeling, CH centripetal hypertrophy, EH eccentric hypertrophy.
