Athletic training can result in increased left ventricular (LV) wall thickness, termed physiologic hypertrophy (PhH). By contrast, pathologic hypertrophy (PaH) can be due to hypertension, aortic stenosis, or genetic mutation causing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Because morphologic (LV dimensio...
