Abstract

MESA CASTELLINI, Alejandrina; BANOS ALFONSO, Ana Isabel; VIDAL TALLET, Arturo  and  SOLER CARDENAS, Silvio. Variables ecocardiográficas: comportamiento en una población femenina infantil normal con superficie corporal de 0,66 a 1,65 metros cuadrados. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2000, vol.72, n.4, pp.256-260. ISSN 0034-7531.

All the girls from the municipality of Matanzas were included in a study, whose sample was composed of 400 sound girls. A stratified probabilistic design and a randomized start scheme were used for their selection. The studied variables were given by the cardiac structures echocardiographically measured in mm and expressed according to body surface. Some of these variables were: left ventricle in systole and diastole, right ventricle, output tractus of the left ventricle, interventricular septum, the aorta, left and right auricles and the shortening fraction. The results were shown in tables by percentiles and body surface. Measurements from 5 to 95 percentile were considered as normal.

Keywords : ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY [methods]; INFANT, NEWBORN; FEMALE; BODY WEIGHTS AND MEASURES; BODY SURFACE AREA.
