Using the normal values for the East Asian population, we evaluated age- and body size-adjusted left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and its prognostic impact in a hospital-based population in Japan. Methods and Results: We retrospectively analyzed data obtained from 4,444 consecutive patients who had undergone both transthoracic echocardiography and electrocardiography at Kitano Hospital in 2013. Those who presented with a history of previous episodes of myocardial infarction and severe or moderate valvular disease or with low ejection fraction (&lt;50%) were excluded from the analysis. We calculated LVEDD adjusted by age and body surface area. A total of 3,474 patients were categorized into 3 groups: 401 with large adjusted LVEDD, 2,829 with normal adjusted LVEDD, and 244 with small adjusted LVEDD. Mean patient age in the large, normal, and small adjusted LVEDD groups was 66.6±18.4, 65.6±15.7, and 62.1±15.5 years, respectively (P&lt;0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors, the excess adjusted 3-year risk of primary outcome of large adjusted LVEDD relative to normal LVEDD was significant (HR, 1.40; 95% CI: 1.08-1.78). The risk for primary outcomes of small adjusted LVEDD relative to normal adjusted LVEDD was significantly lower (HR, 0.55; 95% CI: 0.34-0.85).
