TL;DR: Normal reference ranges for cardiac chambers size obtained in a large group of healthy volunteers accounting for gender and age highlight the need for body size normalization that should be performed together with age-and gender-specific assessment for the most echocardiographic parameters.

TL;DR: The NORRE study provides contemporary, applicable 2D echocardiographic reference ranges for LV longitudinal, radial, and circumferential strain and highlights the importance of age- and gender-specific reference values for LV strain.

TL;DR: The NORRE study provides the reference values for the most useful Doppler parameters in the evaluation of heart physiology and highlights the need of using age-specific reference values especially for the diagnosis of LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction and for the estimation of LV filling pressures.

TL;DR: The NORRE study provides useful 2DE reference ranges for novel indices of non-invasively derived indices of myocardial work (MW) from a large group of healthy volunteers over a wide range of ages and gender.

TL;DR: The NORRE study provides contemporary, applicable echocardiographic reference ranges for LA function and highlights the importance of age-specific reference values for LA functions.
