Why the study?
Major sex differences exist in the morphologically normal heart, and these variations must be considered when assessing cardiac structure for diagnosis and risk stratification in cardiomyopathies.
What is the effect of sex, age, and body measurements on cardiac dimensions and fat measurements in the normal heart?

Sex-based variations in normal cardiac morphology should be considered during imaging assessment for risk stratification and diagnosis of cardiomyopathies.
Major differences between the sexes exist in the morphologically normal heart. These variations should be considered when assessing cardiac structure in imaging for risk stratification and diagnosis in the cardiomyopathies, as well as in treatment outcomes.
