Correlation coefficients

	LV ESV (mL)	LA volume (mL)	LV mass (g)
No index	1.0	1.0	1.0
/BSA, m²	.98	.95	.92
/Height, m	.99	.99	.98
/BW, kg	.94	.83	.73
/BMI, kg/m²	.96	.88	.81

LV ESV, Left ventricular end-systolic volume; LA, left atrial; BSA, body surface area; BW, body weight; BMI, body mass index. The correlation among indexing methods for LV mass, LA volume, and LV ESV using Pearson correlation coefficients is shown. A value near 1 indicates excellent correlation among the different variables.
