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

Description

Khouri et al developed equations for predicting the normal left ventricular internal dimension during diastole. The value measured by echocardiography can be compared to this value for comparison.


 

Parameter:

(1) body surface area in square meter

(2) gender

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)
