Table 3 Normal reference ranges of mitral and tricuspid valve annulus measurements indexed to BSA in Caucasian men

From: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance reference values of mitral and tricuspid annular dimensions: the UK Biobank cohort

  1. Abnormal low and high refer to the lower and upper reference limits, respectively. They are defined as measurements which lie outside the 95% prediction interval at all age groups. Borderline zone values should be looked up in the age-specific tables. The borderline zone was defined as the upper and lower ranges where the measured value lay outside the 95% prediction interval for at least one age group. All measurements are indexed to body surface area and reported in cm/m2 (areas in cm2/m2), except for ratios and angles
  2. 2C, two-chamber; 3C, three-chamber; 4C, four-chamber; AML, anterior mitral leaflet; BSA, body surface area; MA, mitral annulus; MV, mitral valve; PML, posterior mitral leaflet; TA, tricuspid annulus; TV, tricuspid valve
