What does this research mean for the field?

The weights of adult heart components are determined by sex and body build rather than age or body length, with the left ventricle plus septum to right ventricle ratio averaging approximately 2.5:1, providing baseline criteria for assessing cardiac hypertrophy. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Population

140 hearts (138 from medico-legal postmortems and 2 from post-natal deaths)

Design

Cross-sectional

Authors

SDSalmeh DadgarMashhad University of Medical Sciences STS. TyagiIndraprastha Apollo Hospitals

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Reference ranges may aid hypertrophy assessment in similar cohorts; leaves open prospective validation and broader applicability.

Structured PICO

Population

140 hearts (138 from medico-legal postmortems and 2 from post-natal deaths)

Outcome

Total heart weight, weights of right ventricle (RV), left ventricle plus septum (LV + S), and non-muscular portion (NMP)surrogate

This anatomical study provides reference ranges for heart and ventricular weights to help establish criteria for normal hearts and ventricular hypertrophy.
