Visualize LV Mass Scaling Methods
Interactive tools to explore how different body size scaling methods affect left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) diagnosis across patient populations.
Why LV Mass Scaling Matters
Different approaches to body size normalization can lead to different clinical conclusions about the same patient. The choice of scaling method can significantly affect the diagnosis of LVH.
How to Use This Tool
Select Methods
Choose which scaling approaches (BSA, height-based, lean body mass, etc.) and reference values to use for comparison. Choose from a curated list or explore on your own
Tailor Patient Data
Adjust for patient demographics & anthropometrics.Experiment with different BMI values to see how body composition affects each method.
Explore Across Populations
Compare how different methods perform across diverse patient types. Watch how thresholds shift with changing patient characteristics.
Gain Clinical Insights
Understand the clinical implications of each scaling approach. When might traditional BSA indexing under- or over-diagnose LVH?
