#CardioNugget 60/365 Sphericity Index (SI) of the LV in Cardiomyopathy 🔹 SI = Short-axis / Long-axis 🔹 Normal LV: Elliptical (SI < 0.6) 🔹 DCM: 🏀 More spherical (SI ↑, ~0.7+), ↑ wall stress, worse outcomes 🔹 RCM: 🏈 Stays elliptical (SI < 0.6), stiff but not dilated

Sphericity Index (SI) of the LV in Cardiomyopathy 

🔹 SI = Short-axis / Long-axis
🔹 Normal LV: Elliptical (SI &lt; 0.6)
🔹 DCM: 🏀 More spherical (SI ↑, ~0.7+), ↑ wall stress, worse outcomes
