LV Mass Index Calculator

Health

Calculate Left Ventricular Mass Index (LVMI) from echocardiography data. LVMI = LV Mass / Body Surface Area. Clinical screening tool for left ventricular hypertrophy.

Formula

LVMI = LV Mass / BSA; BSA = 0.007184 × H^0.725 × W^0.425

200g mass, 170cm, 70kg

Inputs
  • LV Mass (grams): 200
  • Height (cm): 170
  • Weight (kg): 70

BSA≈1.88; LVMI≈106 (normal)

Frequently asked questions

What is LVMI?
Left Ventricular Mass Index; >115 suggests left ventricular hypertrophy in adults
Clinical use?
Screening tool only - requires echo interpretation by cardiologist
