Participants in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)
Left ventricular (LV) volume and masssurrogate
Establishes that normal LV volume and mass differ by sex and ethnicity, highlighting the need to account for these variations in cardiovascular risk assessment.
The normal LV differs in volume and mass between sexes and among certain ethnic groups. When indexed by body surface area, LV mass was independent of age for both sexes. Studies that assess cardiovascular risk factors in relationship to cardiac function and structure need to account for these normal variations in the population.
