BACKGROUNDLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a strong predictor of adverse outcomes. Although normalizing LV mass (LVM) to height exponents reduced variability from body size, specific recommendations for height exponents are lacking due to a scarcity of normal cohorts to define appropriate height exponents. We aimed to demonstrate the diagnostic and prognostic implications of establishing height exponents specific to sex, ethnicity and imaging modality. METHODSNon-overweight/non-obese Asian...
