Table 1 CMR data suggest that direct comparison of LV wall thickness can rule out the existence of the commonly accepted idea of a symmetric remodelling pattern in patients with LV hypertrophy

From: 200 Cardiac magnetic resonance implicates that amyloidosis, hypertension induced left ventricular hypertrophy, hypertrophic obstructive and hypertrophic non obstructive cardiomyopathy share the same pattern of non concentric left ventricular remodelling
