Abstrakt: [Display omitted] • Indexed left ventricular (LV) diameter for body surface area may be used for assessing LV dilation. • We examined the validity of indexed LV diameter in healthy subjects. • Indexed LV diameters might overestimate LV dilation in small body sizes. • This should be recognized for assessing LV dilation in valvular heart disease.
