Global longitudinal strain, ejection fraction, effort tolerance and normal echocardiography measurements in healthy Indians

摘要

Introduction: Normative comprehensive echocardiographic measurements data for healthy Indians are not available while data for American and European population is available from American Society of echocardiography and European Society of Cardiology/European Association of Cardio-Vascular Imaging and their publications. Available studies of Indian subjects are small and report only limited measurements with focus on left ventricular (LV) volumes. Objective: We aim to provide comprehensive normative echocardiographic data for healthy Indians from a large sample size.
