Table 1. . Age and measures of left ventricular mass and function in normal healthy boys and boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Status | Normal (Lorenz et al.) | Normal (Mazur et al.) | DMD (Mazur et al.) |
---|---|---|---|
Age (years) | 7–20 | 9.1 (7.7–10.7) | 11.1 (9.3–14.1) |
LVEF (%) | n/a | 65.5 (62.4–70.0) | 63.2 (57.8–67.8) |
LVMi (g/m2) | n/a | 40.5 (35.4–47.4) | 51.0 (42.9–59.1) |
LVESVi (ml/m2) | 43 ± 7 | n/a | n/a |
LVEDVi | 67 ± 9 | 64.4 (55.3–72.0) | 68.3 (59.3–79.0) |
DMD: Duchenne muscular dystrophy; LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction; LVEDVi: Left ventricular end diastolic volume (indexed); LVESVi: Left ventricular end systolic volume (indexed); LVMi: Left Ventricular Mass (indexed).
