Summary

This study is collecting ultrasound measurements of the heart and carotid arteries from 1,400 healthy children aged 0-18 in Italy. The goal is to create a reference range of normal values, so doctors can better identify when something is abnormal. No treatment is being tested; it is purely observational.
