What are the normal reference values and z-score regression equations for echocardiographic measurements of left heart structures in healthy Han Chinese children?
This study provides population-specific z-score regression equations for left heart echocardiographic measurements in Han Chinese children, aiding in accurate clinical assessment of pediatric heart disease.
Wang et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Healthy (n=545). Body surface area (BSA) was evaluated on Relationship between measurements of left heart structures and body surface area (BSA). Echocardiographic measurements of left heart structures demonstrated a cubic relationship with body surface area in 545 healthy Han Chinese children.
