“…mostly correlate with age or body surface area. As far as we are aware, cross-sectional areas indexed to body surface area have only been reported for the right pulmonary artery 12 and the sum of the crosssectional areas of the right and left pulmonary artery, the latter termed the pulmonary arterial index, and showing consistency over a wide range of body surface areas. 13 With this in mind, we have calculated similar cross-sectional areas for various sites within the arterial roots and trunks.…”

Dimensions of the great arteries, semilunar valve roots, and right ventricular outflow tract during growth: Normative angiocardiographic data

Systolic and diastolic diameters of the right and left pulmonary arteries (RPAD, LPAD), descending thoracic aorta (DTAD), right ventricular infundibulum (RVID), and pulmonary and aortic valve roots at the proximal, commissural and distal levels were estimated from angiocardiograms in 24 infants, children, and adolescents without heart disease, and correlated with body surface area (BSA), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and ventricular volumes. The relationships between cardiovascular diameters and BSA were better expressed by a power function than by the other functions tried. We obtained different exponents for pulmonary and aortic valve annuli and the more distally measured great arteries (RPAD, LPAD, and DTAD), suggesting different growth patterns. The right ventricular infundibular shortening fraction (RVISF) was weakly correlated with BSA (r = -0.328), and the values obtained indicated constancy during normal growth. There was a direct proportional relationship between the pulmonary valve annulus diameter and the cube root of the right ventricular volume (r = 0.952), as well as between SV and cross-sections of the right pulmonary artery (RPAC; r = 0.916), left pulmonary artery (LPAC; r = 0.878) and descending thoracic aorta (r = 0.962). RPAC and LPAC were strongly correlated (r = 0.940), the RPAC being significantly larger than the LPAC.
