Histologically Measured Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy Correlates with Body Height as Strongly as with Body Mass Index

Table 1

Number of cases according to significance test for fit of LV myocyte breadths to log normal distribution by skewness of the logarithmically transformed breadths.

		Coefficient of skewness^†
P-level*	All	>−0.141	<−0.140

*Probability that the observed distribution of myocytebreadths fits the log normal form.
^†The mean coefficient in these 104 cases is −0.140.
