This is directly proportional to the left ventricular pressure and radius. Wall stress is indirectly proportional to two times the wall thickness. This equation is quite important in order to ...

While upper normal limits exist for maximal left ventricular (LV) wall thickness (14 mm) and LV internal diameter in diastole (LVIDd, 65 mm), it is unknown if these limits are applicable to athletes ...

Maximal end-diastolic left ventricular wall thickness; RVD1: Right ventricular end-diastolic basal diameter in apical 4-chamber view; RVOT1: Right ventricular outflow tract end-diastolic diameter ...

Left ventricular wall thickness increases with hypertrophy due to processes like chronic hypertension and aortic valve stenosis, which serves as a compensatory mechanism to decrease wall stress.

The investigators also discovered that hypertrophy is not always widespread, but can be localized to a single area of the left ventricular wall or be ... basal septal thickness, detected by ...
