The short-axis area-length method for the estimation of left ventricular mass (LVM) and volume was validated in 24 formaldehyde-fixed canine hearts, using the truncated ellipsoid model. Estimates of the short-axis muscle area were highly correlated with directly measured values (R = 0.92; P less than 0.001). Similarly, LVM calculated using the area-length method showed good correlation with the actual weight of the left ventricle (LVW) (R = 0.85; P less than 0.001). When the regression equation was used, retrospectively, to correct the LVM estimates, the correlation between the actual LVW and the calculated LVM was markedly improved (R = 0.96; P less than 0.001). In awake dogs instrumented for measuring transverse and long axis ventricular dimensions using sonomicrometry, short-axis two-dimensional echocardiograms were used to convert the sonar external transverse dimensions to true diameters. The combined use of the corrected diameters and the regression equation to calculate LVM in the intact dog resulted in values that were highly correlated with the actual LVW (R = 0.95; P less than 0.001). Application of this technique for monitoring LVM in awake instrumented dogs demonstrated the method to be reproducible from day to day and to be sensitive enough to detect serial changes in mass such as during the development of left ventricular hypertrophy.

Background: To investigate the association between ankle-brachial index (ABI), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in a general population. Patients and methods: The study population consisted of 8,246 people aged 50 years and older who participated in the baseline survey of the Dong-gu Study conducted in Korea between 2007 and 2010. Trained research technicians measured LV mass using mode M ultrasound echocardiography and ABI using an oscillometric method. Results: After adjustment for risk factors and common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) and the number of plaques, higher ABIs (1.10 1.19, 1.20 - 1.29, and ≥ 1.30) were significantly and linearly associated with high LVMI (1.10 - 1.19 ABI: β, 3.33; 95 % CI, 1.72 - 4.93; 1.20 - 1.29 ABI: β, 6.51; 95 % CI, 4.02 - 9.00; ≥ 1.30 ABI: β, 14.83; 95 % CI, 6.18 - 23.48). An ABI of 1.10 - 1.19 and 1.20 - 1.29 ABI was significantly associated with LVH (1.10 - 1.19 ABI: OR, 1.35; 95 % CI, 1.19 - 1.53; 1.20 - 1.29 ABI: OR, 1.59; 95 % CI, 1.31 - 1.92) and ABI ≥ 1.30 was marginally associated with LVH (OR, 1.73; 95 % CI, 0.93 - 3.22, p = 0.078). Conclusions: After adjustment for other cardiovascular variables and CCA-IMT and the number of plaques, higher ABIs are associated with LVH and LVMI in Koreans aged 50 years and older.
