77920-7
ClinicalLeft ventricular Myocardial mass/Height exp 2.7 [Mass/Area] by US 2D
Definition
The myocardial index is the left ventricular (LV) mass normalized for body size, which can be approximated by different measures including body surface area (BSA) and height. This term represents an index based on height^2.7.
