A member asked:

Is left ventricular wall thickness measured by echocardiogram using values from systole or diastole?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I have seen left ventricular wall thickness measured in both systole, at end -diastole&,at mid-diastole However these readings can underestimate or overestimate and determination of ventricular mass is a much more accurate.assessment.
