Description
Imara Correia de Queiroz Barbosa and Israel Nilton de Almeida Feitosa wrote a 2026 editorial, in Portuguese, on heart ultrasound reference values for Brazil. Ultrasound measures of the heart guide diagnosis, risk sorting, and treatment choices. Yet clinics in Brazil still lean on reference ranges drawn from European and North American groups.
Brazil is a continent-sized country with wide ethnic, body, and social variety, so borrowed ranges raise fair doubts about accuracy. The editorial praises a new study in the same journal that sets current reference values from 496 healthy Brazilian adults. The volunteers came from 20 labs across all five regions of the country. Image capture was standardized and read centrally. The authors argue that Brazil needs its own voice on what counts as a normal heart.
