Abstract
Left ventricular mass (LVM) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular outcome. M-mode echocardiography, the most commonly used technique for estimation of LVM. The purpose of this study is to establish the regression models for prediction of LVM, measure the normal values of the LVM in normal Iraqi subjects and to compare them with values obtained in Europe, American and Arab people.
