Table 2 Thickness of the septum and diameter of the ventricular cavity
From: Cardiac hypertrophy and insulin therapy in a pre-term newborn: is there a relationship?
Thickness: | mm | Z score |
|---|---|---|
• Interventricular septum (diastolic) | 5.5 | + 2.52 |
• Interventricular septum (systolic) | 6.4 | + 2.49 |
• Free wall - posterior left ventricular wall (diastolic) | 4.7 | + 3.54 |
• Free wall -posterior left ventricular wall (systolic) | 0.65 | + 2.38 |
Diameter: | ||
• Left ventricular end diastolic | 16.5 | + 1.35 |
• Left ventriclular end systolic | 0.87 | - 0.64 |
