title: Left ventricular M-mode echocardiographic measurements of Indian population.
abstract: The left ventricular dimensions of 506 normal healthy subjects (men = 317, women = 189) in the age group of 17 to 80 years were measured echocardiographically. The measurements were found to differ significantly from the western data. A separate limit for left ventricular echocardiographic parameter for the normal Indian population was established.
