What is Aortic Root Dimensions in Echocardiography about?

This study compares aortic root dimensions measured by 2-dimensional echocardiography to M-mode echocardiography in 135 normal adults and 52 normal children. The study finds that 2-dimensional measurements at the sinuses of Valsalva are larger than M-mode values, and using M-mode nomograms to assess2-dimensional measurements falsely diagnoses dilatation in many normal subjects. The study develops new nomograms comparing aortic diameter to body surface area that should be used in children, and finds that dim
