title: Effects of age-related changes in cavity size, wall thickness and heart rate on left ventricular function in normal children.
abstract: In this study the effects on left ventricular function of age-related changes in left ventricular diameter, wall thickness, and heart rate were assessed in normal children from 1-12 years of age using echocardiography.
