A new method to quantify left ventricular mass by 2D echocardiography
Abstract Increased left ventricular mass (LVM) is a strong independent predictor for adverse cardiovascular events, but conventional echocardiographic methods are limited by poor reproducibility and accuracy. We developed a novel method based on adding the mean wall thickness from the parasternal sh...
