Using absolute value of log<sub>2</sub> fold-change > 2 or extremely small <i>P</i> value (10<sup>-20</sup>) as a criterion, we identified nine significant genes (HBA1, HBB, HIST1H2AC, GSTT1, MYL7, NPPA, NPPB, PDK4, PLA2G2A) in LVH, also found in published data set for ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathy in heart failure.
