CH, concentric hypertrophy; CR, concentric remodelling; EH, eccentric hypertrophy; NG, normal geometry.

vs. Chirinos’s thresholds/Height^1.7, P < 0.01. Volunteer thresholds/BSA, volunteer thresholds/height^2.7 and volunteer thresholds/height^1.7 represent three different indexation methods for the healthy volunteers selected from the EMINCA study population. Guideline thresholds/BSA and Guideline thresholds/height^2.7 represent two different indexation methods recommended by international guidelines. Chirinos’s thresholds/height^1.7 represents the indexation method proposed by Chirinos et al.
