The Healthy Hearts Consortium is an international collaborative comprising the largest cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) image bank of verified healthy adult hearts in the world, including 9,088 CMR studies contributed by six institutions from across the world (Figure 1).
The Healthy Hearts Consortium image databank is internationally unique in terms of its size, and its age and ethnic diversity. The resource is centrally managed in the Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging Centre of the William Harvey Research Institute, NIHR Barts Biomedical Research Centre, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL).
The primary aim of the Healthy Hearts Consortium is to establish unified age, sex, and ethnicity specific CMR healthy reference ranges, which can be readily implemented into clinical practice in centres across the world, reaching as many patients as possible. We anticipate that the consortium will serve as a valuable research platform for multiple future research endeavours.
The reference range tables may be downloaded from the NORMAL RANGES tab.
