The golden number to remember for RWT is 0.42 as it allows further classification of LV mass increase as either concentric hypertrophy (RWT >0.42) or eccentric hypertrophy (RWT ≤0.42).
Since there are so many numbers to remember in echocardiography, I made a mnemonic for RWT.
Relative = 0 (Relative zero)
Wall = 4 (4 letters in the word wall)
Thickness = 2 (2 strokes in the letter T)
Hope this helps!
