Ethnic differences in left ventricular myocardial volume assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography in asymptomatic adults

Left ventricular myocardial volume (LVMV) is an early marker of cardiac injury and hypertrophic remodeling. Prior studies demonstrated LV geometry measured by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and non-contrast cardiac CT correlates strongly with echocardiography and MRI1,2 and can reliably assess LV geometry when indexed to body surface area (BSA) and sex.1 CTA-derived LVMV may enable earlier identification of hypertrophic remodeling in asymptomatic individuals. However, whether cu…
