Editing Left ventricular hypertrophy (section)

=== CT & MRI ===
[[CT scan|CT]] and [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]]-based measurement can be used to measure the left ventricle in three dimensions and calculate left ventricular mass directly. MRI based measurement is considered the “[[Gold standard (test)|gold standard]]” for left ventricular mass,<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Myerson SG, Bellenger NG, Pennell DJ | title = Assessment of left ventricular mass by cardiovascular magnetic resonance | journal = Hypertension | volume = 39 | issue = 3 | pages = 750–755 | date = March 2002 | pmid = 11897757 | doi = 10.1161/hy0302.104674 | s2cid = 16598370 | doi-access = free }}</ref> though is usually not readily available for common practice. In older individuals, age related remodeling of the left ventricle's geometry can lead to a discordancy between CT and echocardiographic based measurements of left ventricular mass.<ref name=":0">{{cite journal | vauthors = Stokar J, Leibowitz D, Durst R, Shaham D, Zwas DR | title = Echocardiography overestimates LV mass in the elderly as compared to cardiac CT | journal = PLOS ONE | volume = 14 | issue = 10 | pages = e0224104 | date = 2019-10-24 | pmid = 31648248 | pmc = 6812823 | doi = 10.1371/journal.pone.0224104 | doi-access = free | bibcode = 2019PLoSO..1424104S }}</ref>
