Quantification<unk>  of the ventricle can be measured with a number of techniques. Electrocardiogram (EKG), a non-invasive assessment of the electrical system of the heart, can be useful in determining the degree of<unk> , as well as subsequent dysfunction it may precipitate. Specifically, increase in Q wave size, abnormalities in the P wave as well as giant inverted T waves are indicative of significant concentric<unk> . Specific changes in repolarization and depolarization events are indicative of different underlying causes of<unk>  and can assist in appropriate management of the condition. Changes are common in both eccentric and concentric<unk> , though are substantially different from one another. In either condition fewer than 10% of patients with significant<unk>  display a normal EKG. Transthoracic echocardiography, a similarly non invasive assessment of cardiac morphology, is also important in determining both the degree of<unk> , underlying pathologies (such as aortic coarction), and degree of cardiac dysfunction. Important considerations in echocardiography of the<unk> ed heart include lateral and septal wall thickness, degree of outflow tract obstruction, and systolic anterior wall motion (SAM) of the mitral valve, which can exacerbate outflow obstruction. It is not uncommon to undergo cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), which measures the heart's response to exercise, to assess the functional impairment caused by<unk>  and to prognosticate outcomes.
