Excerpt

Left ventricular mass (LVM) is considered an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Today we have new cardiac imaging methods for its calculation, which are incorporated into the already established classic. The aim of the study was to assess a comprehensive analysis of the correlation of LVM between two different diagnostic techniques, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). …
