    It is known that for a sequence \(\{\Omega_t\}\) of convex sets expanding over the whole hyperbolic space \(\mathbb{H}^{n+1}\) the limit of the quotient \(\text{vol}(\Omega_t)/\text{vol}(\partial\Omega_t)\) is less than or equal to \(1/n\), and exactly \(1/n\) when the sets considered are convex with respect to horocycles. When convexity is with respect to equidistant lines, i.e. curves with constant geodesic curvature \(\lambda\) less than one, the above limit has \(\lambda/n\) as lower bound. Looking how the boundary bends, in this paper we give bounds of the above quotient for a compact lcx domain in a complete simply-connected manifold of negative and bounded sectional curvature, a Hadamard manifold. Then we see that the limit of \(\text{vol}(\Omega_t)/\text{vol}(\partial\Omega_t)\) for sequences of lcx domains expanding over the whole space lies between the values \(\lambda/nk^2_2\) and \(1/nk_1\).
