Summary

Echocardiography forms one of the most used modality in the evaluation of cardiac anatomy and functions in both patients with cardiac symptoms and in healthy individuals for occupational and research purpose. The interpretation of any medical investigation including echocardiographic report is based on its comparison with the normal range for that parameter, which is known to vary depending on the age, sex, body surface area (BSA), ethnicity and race. Since most of the medical/surgical treatment decisions are made based on the echocardiographic reports, the interpretation of results should be accurate. Even though there are many studies defining reference ranges of echocardiographic parameters, most of them were based on studies conducted in Western and European population, who shows considerable difference in their anthropometric measurements from the Indian population. Hence for the accurate diagnosis of any cardiac abnormalities, the reference values should have been derived from studies conducted in population of that particular race and ethnicity who are free of risk factors for the cardiac disease. Hence the investigator planned to conduct a study to determine the normal Echocardiographic parameters and compare it with the reference range of established by American society of echocardiography (ASE).
