Left ventricle (Geometry) Description of LV geometry, using at the minimum the four categories of normal geometry, concentric remodelling, and concentric and eccentric hypertrophy, should be a standard component of the echocardiography report. Recommendations for Cardiac Chamber Quantification by Echocardiography in Adults: An Update from the ASE and EACVI (2015) Recommendations for Cardiac Chamber Quantification by Echocardiography in Adults: An Update from the ASE and EACVI (2015) - The red horizontal line separates LV hypertrophy from normal LV mass. - The black vertical line separates dilated from nondilated ventricles. - The two oblique blue lines delimit the upper (0.42) and lower (0.32) limit of normal RWT. - This leads to eight categories of ventricles. - The green ellipse indicates the area of normal ventricles including physiological LV enlargement.
