A member asked:
On echo, septum size is 0.97 cm with normal limits less than 1.2 cm and post. wall thickness is 0.9 cm with normal limits less than 1.2 cm. ef =60% according to the above data does this person have lvh, hcm, or hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Echocardiograph criteria for the diagnosis of LVH use LV mass & body surface area measurements. For hypertrophic cardiomyopathy a segment of LV wall of 1.5 cm qualifies. Features of aortic and mitral valve movement are used to distinguish hypertensive cardiomyopathy ( nonobstructive cardiomyopathy) from obstructive or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I hope this answers your question.

If echo 2D measures actual thickness of septum and m-mode measures movement,does this means 2D is better to rule out s LVH and m-mode is better for MI?
My echo shows a posterior wall and septal thickness of 1.3 cm each. It indicates mild concentric LVH with normal systolic function. Should I worry?
