Updated echocardiographic reference values demonstrate higher upper normal limits for left atrial volume and right ventricular dimension, highlighting the need to update clinical reference ranges.
The authors present updated normal reference values for a wide range of echocardiographic measures of both left- and right-side ventricular and atrial size and function from a large healthy population with a wide age-span. The higher upper normal limits for left atrial volume and right ventricular dimension highlight the importance of updating reference ranges accordingly following refinement of echocardiographic methods.
