Anthropometric and physiological measurements in healthy children.
1. Normal ranges for ultrasonic cardiac output monitor-derived cardiovascular indices are derived for Chinese children aged 1 to 12 years in Hong Kong. 2. A simple formula for calculating stroke volume is constructed, but the error varies from 8 to 40%. 3. Stroke volume index and, to a lesser extent, the cardiac index generally increase from ages 1 to 5 years, but plateau or fall slightly thereafter.
