Using self-reported height and weight in calculating body surface area: is it good practice in cardiovascular imaging?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Cardiac dimensions and volumes are widely used throughout cardiac imaging. Body mass index (BMI) and body surface area (BSA) can both be used but BSA is most validated. There are many formulae for calculating BSA but the Mosteller calculation is the easiest, can be performed on a basic calculator and has gained in popularity. BSA = ((height cm*weight kg)<-2>/3600)). Many centers use self-reported height and weight for BSA calculation and subsequent normalization. Is this reliable?
