The American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) has recommended diastolic area length
and truncated ellipsoid methods for estimating left ventricular (LV) mass by two-dimensional
(2D) echocardiography. The major goals of this retrospective study were to (1) assess the
correlation between ASE-recommended 2D and M-mode echo-derived measurements of LV
mass,(2) compare the two ASE-recommended 2D echocardiography methods, and (3)
compare the echo-derived LV mass with anatomic LV mass. The study included 2D …
