Normal reference values for echocardiography: a call for comparison between ethnicities.
Doppler echocardiography has become the standard imaging modality for the assessment of heart valve disease severity and ventricular diastolic function. However, due to the variability in Doppler parameters according to age, it is mandatory to establish reference limits that define normality. Furthermore, differentiation between normal and abnormal diastolic function depends on the targeted pop...
متن کاملNormal Reference Values for Doppler Echocardiography: Influences of Ageing, Gender and Ethnicity
Echocardiography is now considered a standard diagnostic tool that enables the noninvasive quantification of cardiac chamber size, ventricular mass, and systolic function in various clinical situations. Technological progress in Doppler echocardiography has enabled the provision of hemodynamic information and the assessment of valvular heart disease and ventricular diastolic function. When inte...
متن کاملReference values from M-mode and Doppler echocardiography for normal Syrian hamsters.
AIMS Echocardiography has recently been introduced to small animal research, allowing serial measurements of cardiac diseases. In addition, the hamster model has been increasingly used, as it mimics many human heart conditions. However, no reference range of echocardiographic values reflecting normal left ventricular (LV) function exists for hamsters. The purpose of this study was to provide on...
متن کاملReference values for isometric muscle force among workers for the Netherlands: a comparison of reference values
BACKGROUND Muscle force is important for daily life and sports and can be measured with a handheld dynamometer. Reference values are employed to quantify a subject's muscle force. It is not unambiguous whether reference values can be generalized to other populations. Objectives in this study were; first to confirm the reliability of the utilization of hand-held dynamometers for isometric streng...
متن کاملNormal reference ranges for echocardiography: do we really need more?
Echocardiography is themostwidelyusednon-invasivecardiac imaging for assessing the cardiac structure and function. Echocardiography has the advantage of low cost, no radiation risk, and great availability. However, as for any diagnostic test, its interpretation depends on its ability to accurately detect abnormalities. Actually, the definition of ‘abnormal’ relies on the definition of ‘normal’ ...
