    This study establishes normal cardiac dimensions using 2-D echocardiography in 51 healthy individuals. These findings provide standardized reference values for assessing heart chamber sizes in clinical practice.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Physiology

    Context:

    • Accurate measurement of cardiac dimensions is crucial for diagnosing cardiovascular conditions.
    • 2-D echocardiography is a widely used non-invasive imaging technique for cardiac assessment.
    • Establishing normal reference ranges is essential for interpreting echocardiographic findings.

    Purpose:

    • To determine normal values for the longitudinal axis and diameters of the left and right ventricles and atria in a healthy population.
    • To utilize 2-D echocardiography, employing both left parasternal longitudinal and cross-sectional views, for comprehensive cardiac dimension assessment.
    • To establish tolerance values, mean values, and standard deviations for these cardiac measurements.

    Summary:

    • Normal values for diastolic and systolic diameters of the left ventricle were consistent across different echocardiographic views (left parasternal and apical 4-chamber).

  • Measurements for the right ventricle and right atrium were primarily obtained from the apical 4-chamber view, while left atrium measurements utilized the left parasternal cross-section.
  • After correcting for body surface area, no significant gender-based differences were observed in cardiac dimensions, indicating reduced variability between males and females.

    • Impact:

    • Provides standardized normal values for intracardiac dimensions measured by 2-D echocardiography.
    • Enables more accurate classification and interpretation of individual patient measurements.
    • Facilitates improved diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases through reliable reference data.
