We aim to validate echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) mass (echoLVM) in sixty-one patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), using cardiac magnetic resonance measures (cmrLVM) as gold standard. cmrLVM was calculated using LV short-axis images, from base to apex, whereas echoLVM by LV epicardial minus LV endocardial volumes in 4 and 2 chamber views, using Simpson disk summation; trabeculae and papillary muscle were excluded in both cmrLVM and echoLVM. cmrLVM and echoLVM were not different by paired t test (145 ± 66 vs 147 ± 61; p = 0.240), and their correlation was good (r = 0.977; p < 0.0001). Intraclass correlation demonstrated reliability of echoLVM with cmrLVM (ρ = 0.987; Cls = 0.978-0.992; p < 0.0001). LV end-diastolic volume was higher by CMR than that by echo (137 ± 33 vs 85 ± 28 mL, p < 0.0001), resulting in a lower mass/volume ratio (1.1 ± 0.4 vs 1.8 ± 0.8, p < 0.0001). EchoLVM may be determined in patients with HCM. However, mass/volume ratio is higher by echocardiography than that by CMR.

Abstract
We aim to validate echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) mass (echoLVM) in sixty-one patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), using cardiac magnetic resonance measures (cmrLVM) as gold standard. cmrLVM was calculated using LV short-axis images, from base to apex, whereas echoLVM by LV epicardial minus LV endocardial volumes in 4 and 2 chamber views, using Simpson disk summation; trabeculae and papillary muscle were excluded in both cmrLVM and echoLVM. cmrLVM and echoLVM were not different by paired t test (145 ± 66 vs 147 ± 61; p = 0.240), and their correlation was good (r = 0.977; p < 0.0001). Intraclass correlation demonstrated reliability of echoLVM with cmrLVM (ρ = 0.987; Cls = 0.978-0.992; p < 0.0001). LV end-diastolic volume was higher by CMR than that by echo (137 ± 33 vs 85 ± 28 mL, p < 0.0001), resulting in a lower mass/volume ratio (1.1 ± 0.4 vs 1.8 ± 0.8, p < 0.0001). EchoLVM may be determined in patients with HCM. However, mass/volume ratio is higher by echocardiography than that by CMR.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
