To assess the utility of various primary and derived M-Mode Echocardiographic parameters for the purpose of defining left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), 74 subjects with LVH were subjected to M-mode echocardiographic examination. It was concluded that except for cross sectional area, the other echocardiographic parameters performed too poorly to be of any clinical utility for defining LVH by echocardiography.
