What is it about?
Reference ranges for cardiac volumes, mass and function are key for reporting clinical heart MRI scans to know what is normal and what is abnormal. Based on ~800 MRI studies in healthy UK Biobank partiicpants, we determined such normal reference ranges for the left and right main chambers and pre-chambers.

Why is it important?
This will become the reference for normal values for heart MRI derived heart structure and function.
Perspectives
This reference range paper applies to Caucasians and requires the heart MRI scans to be analysed as described in this article.
