DEFINING RISK ASSOCIATED WITH LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY PATTERNS AS ASSESSED BY CARDIAC MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

Background: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a well-established risk factor for the development of cardiovascular complications. However, the pattern of LVH based on LV mass, LV dilation, and concentricity may have incremental prognostic implications. We investigated associations between LVH
