Abstract
Pathologic left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is closely coupled with adverse cardiovascular events. However, normal values of LV mass determined by three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) have not been established in a large number of healthy subjects over a wide age range. The aims of this study were to (1) validate the accuracy of 3DE for LV mass measurements against cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), (2) establish the normal range of LV mass index in healthy subjects, and (3) investigate the effects of age, gender, and ethnic diversity on LV mass index.
