Normal left ventricular indices based on linear and two‐dimensional assessments

	Women	Men
Linear method
Posterior wall thickness, cm	0.6–0.9	0.6–1.0
Septal thickness, cm	0.6–0.9	0.6–1.0
Relative wall thickness, cm	0.22–0.42	0.24–0.42
Left ventricular mass, g	67–162	88–224
Left ventricular mass/BSA, g/m2	43–95	49–115
Two‐dimensional method
Left ventricular mass, g	66–150	96–200
Left ventricular mass/BSA, g/m2	44–88	50–102

Abbreviation: BSA, body surface area.
