Implication

Supports CMR assessment using ethnicity-specific norms in Singaporean Chinese; leaves open applicability across broader Asian populations.

Key Points

To establish comprehensive sex and age-corrected reference ranges for cardiovascular magnetic resonance measurements of the heart and aorta in Singaporean Chinese.
Comprehensive CMR evaluations were conducted at a 3T MRI scanner.
Reference ranges were corrected for sex and age.
Measurements included the heart and aorta dimensions.
Established reference ranges for heart and aorta size specific to Chinese individuals.
The CMR values are critical for clinical decision-making in Asia.
Results are applicable to research studies involving vascular health.
