Abstract
Heart size is a key indicator of cardiovascular health, influenced by various factors such as sex and body height. We developed a physiology laboratory for second-year undergraduates to support learning of these relationships, which are crucial for understanding cardiac physiology. First, students observed heart size measurements with ultrasound by a professional. Second, they measured anthropometric and cardiovascular parameters. Finally, they explored the basic associations between heart size and the anthropometric and cardiovascular indicators.
