Equation of Khouri et al for Predicting Left Ventricular Internal Dimension During Diastole

 

Parameter:

(1) body surface area in square meter

(2) gender

Gender	Points
male	0
female	1

 

predicted left ventricular internal dimension in cm =

= 3 + (0.95 * (BSA)) - (0.14 * (points for gender))

 

measured internal dimension as percent of predicted =

= (measured dimension by echocardiography) / (predicted value)
