Structured PICO

What are the normal reference values for LV and LA sizes and functional parameters on RT3DE in a healthy Japanese population?

Population

Large, healthy Japanese population

Intervention

Real-Time 3-Dimensional Echocardiography (RT3DE)

Outcome

Normal reference values for LV and LA sizes, and their functional parameterssurrogate

This study establishes normal reference values for real-time 3D echocardiographic parameters of the left ventricle and left atrium in a healthy Japanese population.

Abstract

This multicenter investigation determined normal reference values for LV and LA sizes, and their functional parameters on RT3DE in a large, healthy Japanese population. The results of the present study support the use of RT3DE for the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease.
