About this calculator
Overview
Left Ventricular Mass (LVM) and the Left Ventricular Mass Index (LVMI) are used to identify Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH). LVH is an important predictor of cardiovascular risk, often resulting from chronic hypertension or valvular disease.

Pro Tips
Measurements are ideally taken at end-diastole using M-mode or 2D imaging.
Ensure all inputs are in the same units (typically cm).
Athletes may have increased LVM ('Athletic Heart') that is physiological rather than pathological.

Fun Facts
"Normal LVMI for men is ≤ 115 g/m²."
"Normal LVMI for women is ≤ 95 g/m²."
"BSA stands for Body Surface Area, usually calculated via the DuBois or Mosteller formula."
"Concentric hypertrophy involves increased LVM and increased relative wall thickness."
