Interventricular septal thickness for cardiomyopathic phenotype enrichment in patients with established left ventricular hypertrophy.

A five-variable heart model better identifies cardiomyopathy risk than thickness measurements alone, improving diagnostic precision.

This PubMed-indexed study examined we evaluated whether interventricular septal thickness in diastole (IVSd) ≥ 15 mm enriches cardiomyopathic phenotypes among adults with established left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and whether broader clinical-echocardiographic. The abstract reports a five-variable model improved discrimination over IVSd alone (area under the curve [AUC] 0;839 vs.
