Description
The heart weight is the most important parameter in the determination of cardiac hypertrophy. The obtained heart weight value should be compared against tables of normal weights by age, gender and body weight and height
In the study by Vanhaebost et al. has been shown in the Swiss population that the heart weight increases along with the increase of the body weight, body height, BMI and body surface area (BSA). The mean heart weight is greater in men than in women at a similar body weight. The reference tables for predicted heart weights obtained from this study are presented as an user-friendly internet application (http://calc.chuv.ch/Heartweight) enabling the comparison of heart weights observed at autopsy with the reference values.
