global [wall] thickness index(English)

• emerged as a simple, reproducible parameter that integrates LV mass and end-diastolic volume into a single metric, offering a robust global estimate of average myocardial wall thickness. Defined as [0.05 + (1.60 * LVM^0.84) / ( LVEDV^0.49)]/BSA and expressed as mm/m2. It can identify at-risk individuals even with preserved LV mass and EF
