Daubeney et al., Cardiol Young 1999

Z scores of cardiac structures including the mitral valve, aortic valve, pulmonary arteries, etc. Regression equations were derived relating cardiac dimensions to the size of the body using a population of 125 normal infants and children. From the Wessex Cardiothoracic Unit, Southampton General Hospital, UK.
