De Simone et al developed several equations for predicting left ventricular mass in normotensive adults. The authors are from Cornell University and Albert Einstein Medical School in New York City, University of Cincinnati and 2nd Medical School in Naples, Italy.
Parameters:
(1) gender
(2) height in meters
(3) body weight in kilograms
(4) body surface area

2.5 * ((weight)^0.96) |
male |
62 * ((body surface area)^1.5) |
female |
33 * ((height)^2.4) |
female |
3.1 * ((weight)^0.88) |

57 * ((body surface area)^1.4) |
male or female |
30 * ((height)^2.7) |
male or female |
2.2 * ((weight)^0.99) |
male or female |
58 * ((body surface area)^1.5) |
Purpose: To estimate the left ventricular mass of a normotensive adult based on gender, height and weight based on the equations of de Simone et al.
