Reference ranges of echocardiographic measurements in the Dutch population

Reference ranges for echocardiographic measurements were determined in 609 healthy Dutch subjects, using height, weight, age, sex, RR-interval and blood pressure (in adults only) as determinants. Endsystolic as well as end-diastolic measurements of the aortic root as well as left ventricular inner diameter, posterior and septal thickness were taken, as was the left atrial end-systolic diameter. Multiple linear regression was performed of the form: <f>$$overline
