Purpose To define reference values of cardiac volumes, dimensions, and new morpho‐functional parameters normalized for age, gender, and body surface area by cine‐bSSFP (balanced steady‐state free‐precession) magnetic resonance (MR). Materials and Methods We enrolled 308 healthy subjects subdivided b...
