“…The longitudinal decrease in LV EDV and stroke volume we observed in participants who underwent follow-up is consistent with cross-sectional age relationships reported in the MESA cohort at baseline (13). More recent cross-sectional studies in healthy volunteers with three-dimensional echocardiography have shown an inverse relationship between LV volume and age (25)(26)(27). These volume relationships are in contrast to the findings of earlier studies that reported LV volume increased with age (28,29).…”

).q RSNA, 2015 Purpose:To evaluate age-related left ventricular (LV) remodeling during longitudinal observation of a large cohort of asymptomatic individuals who were free of clinical cardiovascular disease at baseline. Materials and Methods:The applicable institutional review boards approved this study, and all participants gave informed consent. Cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was used to identify longitudinal changes in LV structure and function in 2935 participants who underwent baseline and follow-up cardiac MR imaging in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. Participants were free of clinical cardiovascular disease at baseline. Participants who experienced an incident coronary heart disease event were excluded. Data were analyzed with multivariable mixed-effects regression models in which the outcome was cardiac MR imaging measurement, and the covariates included follow-up time and cardiac risk factors. Results:Participants were aged 54-94 years at follow-up, and 53% of the participants were women. Median time between baseline and follow-up cardiac MR imaging was 9.4 years. Over this period, LV mass increased in men and decreased slightly in women (8.0 and 21.6 g per decade, respectively; P , .001). In both men and women, LV enddiastolic volume decreased (29.8 and 213.3 mL per decade, respectively; P , .001), stroke volume decreased (28.8 and 28.6 mL per decade, respectively; P , .001), and mass-to-volume ratio increased (0.14 and 0.11 g/mL per decade, respectively; P , .001). Change in LV mass was positively associated with systolic blood pressure and body mass index and negatively associated with treated hypertension and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level. In men, the longitudinal LV mass increase was in contrast to a cross-sectional pattern of LV mass decrease. Conclusion:As patients age, the LV responds differently in its mass and volume between men and women, although both men and women experience increased concentric LV remodeling with age. In men, the opposition of longitudinal and cross-sectional changes in LV mass highlights the importance of longitudinal study.q RSNA, 2015

“…Over the last few years , there has been a crescent call for patients specific rather than generic threshold values , leading multiple authors to publish echocardiographic normative data . In particular, four major multi-center studies (the Normal Reference Range for Echocardiography-NORRE-European, The Japanese Normal Values for Echocardiographic Measurement Project-JAMP, The Echocardiographic Measurements in Normal Chinese Adults-Eminca, and The Normal Echocardiographic Measurements in a Korean population-NORMAL-trials) are currently ongoing and normative data for many 2D and a few 3D parameters have been published (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)52). Contemporary, different centers addressed the need of having normative data for new parameters coming from 3D echocardiography (45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58) and deformation analysis .…”

There is a crescent interest on normal adult echocardiographic values and the introduction of new deformation imaging and 3D parameters pose the issue of normative data. A multitude of nomograms has been recently published, however data are often fragmentary, difficult to find, and their strengths/ limitations have been never evaluated. Aims: (I) to provide a review of current echocardiographic nomograms; (II) to generate a tool for easy and fast access to these data. A literature search was conducted accessing the National Library of Medicine using the keywords: 2D/3D echocardiography, strain, left/ right ventricle, atrial, mitral/tricuspid valve, aorta, reference values/nomograms/normal values. Adding the following keywords, the results were further refined: range/intervals, myocardial velocity, strain rate and speckle tracking. Forty one published studies were included. Our study reveals that for several of 2D/3D parameters sufficient normative data exist, however, a few limitations still persist. For some basic parameters (i.e., mitral/tricuspid/pulmonary valves, great vessels) and for 3D valves data are scarce. There is a lack of studies evaluating ethnic differences. Data have been generally expressed as mean values normalised for gender and age instead of computing models incorporating different variables (age/gender/body sizes) to calculate z scores. To summarize results a software (Echocardio-Normal Values) who automatically calculate range of normality for a broad range of echocardiographic measurements according to age/gender/weight/ height, has been generated. We provide an up-to-date and critical review of strengths/limitation of current adult echocardiographic nomograms. Furthermore we generated a software for automatic, easy and fast access to multiple echocardiographic normative data.
