Standard EF may overestimate systolic function in concentric LVH; extends geometric EF-strain understanding but remains hypothesis-generating.
A new corrected ejection fraction (EFc) metric accounts for concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, which may otherwise lead to overestimation of ventricular systolic function by standard EF.
David H. MacIver (2011) studied this question.
