Abstract: Curvature-based three-dimensional cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) allows regional function characterization without an external spatial frame of reference. However, introduction of this modality into clinical practice is hampered by lack of reference values. We aim to establish normal ranges for 3D left ventricular (LV) regional parameters in relation to age and gender for 171 healthy subjects. LV geometrical reconstruction and automatic calculation of regional parameters were implemented by in-house software (CardioWerkz) using stacks of short-axis cine slices. Parameter normal ranges were stratified by gender and age categories (≤44, 45–64, 65–74 and 75–84 years). Our software had excellent intra- and inter-observer agreement. Ageing was significantly associated with increases in end-systolic (ES) curvedness (CES) and area strain (AS) with higher rates of increase in males, end-diastolic (ED) and ES wall thickness (WTED, WTES) with higher rates of increase in females, and reductions in ED and ES wall stress indices (σi,ED) with higher rates of increase in females. Females exhibited greater ED curvedness, CES, σi,ED and AS than males, but smaller WTED and WTES. Age × gender interaction was not observed for any parameter. This study establishes age and gender specific reference values for 3D LV regional parameters using CMR without additional image acquisition.
