Eccentric LVH may flag higher RV systolic dysfunction risk in hypertension; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.

In hypertensive patients, right ventricular diastolic dysfunction is highly prevalent across all LV geometric patterns, while right ventricular systolic dysfunction is most common in those with eccentric LV hypertrophy.
Karaye et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=128). Abnormal left ventricular geometry (eccentric/concentric hypertrophy or concentric remodeling) vs. Normal left ventricular geometry was evaluated on Prevalence of right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVSD) (p=<0.01). Among hypertensive patients, eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy was associated with the highest prevalence of right ventricular systolic dysfunction (52.63%) compared to concentric hypertrophy (20.69%, p<0.01).
