Popis: Background: Currently, normal values of the cardiac chambers' volumes are adjusted only for gender and body surface area (BSA). We aim to investigate the association between the heart rate and the volume of each of the four cardiac chambers using cardiac-gated computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Methods: A total of 350 consecutive patients without known cardiac diseases or significant (>50%) stenosis undergoing CCTA between January 2009 and June 2014 for suspected coronary artery disease were included. Cardiac chamber volumes adjusted to BSA were calculated using automated model-based segmentation analysis software of the CCTA data and correlated with patients' mean heart rate during the scan. Results: There were 240 men and 110 women, median interquartile range age was 55 years (47?61). Women were older 59.0 years (53.7?64) versus 52.0 years (45.0?59.0), had higher prevalence of hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, anemia, and hypothyroidism, and higher median heart rates 64.0 (59.7?66.0) versus 60.0 (55.0?65.0) (p?0.001). Men had a negative correlation between the volume of each cardiac chamber and the heart rate [rage_adj?=?(?0.4)?(?0.27), p?
