Sex differences in healthy heart size. The whole-heart view compares an average male human heart (Zygote Media Group Inc., 2014), shown in red, to an isometrically scaled down female heart, which is −26% smaller in mass. Based on isometric scaling, the female ventricular wall thickness and its ventricular and atrial diameters would be −9.0% smaller than their male counterparts.
