Relationships between left ventricular geometry (sphericity index) and remodeling in dilated cardiomyopathy.

CONCLUSIONS: To summarize, changes in sLVd are crucial for changes in LV geometry, whereas lLVd has a negligible effect on this process. The presence of LVRR was not always associated with an improvement in SI and its absence with increase in SI. Since the assessment of SI is less complex than LVRR, SI as a significant LVRR predictor can be useful part of a regular echocardiography examination.
