heart measurement

Can you provide me with normal ranges (measurement) for the left and right ventricule? and left and right atrium?
thanks,

italia38,

For the left ventricle, I'll provide several different measurements.  The dimensions provided on reports vary from lab to lab, but here are some of the numbers we use.

(1) IVSd - Intraventricular Septal width (measured during diastole); normal range 0.6-1.1 cm

(2) LVIDd - Left Ventricular Internal Dimension (diastole); normal range 3.5 - 6 cm

(3) LVIDs - Left Ventricular Internal Dimension (systole); normal range 2.1 - 4 cm

(4)LVPWd - Left Ventricualr Posterior Wall (diastole); normal range 0.6-1.1 cm

Right ventricle:
At our lab, we measure the diameter at the base of the ventricle near the tricuspid annulus.  Less than 4cm is normal, greater than 4 cm is abnormal.

Left atrium:
Normal diameter < 4cm, normal left atrial volume < 20 ml/m^2.

Right atrium:
Measured similiarly, although usually a little smaller than the left atrium.

Hope that helps.
