Biometric cardiac profile measured by Echocardiography is satisfying the properties of being a successfulbiometric technique which are universality, distinctiveness, collectability, performance, acceptability andcircumvention.Objectives: The aim of the current study is to establish biometric cardiac profile as a possible identifier forsex among Egyptian candidates.Subjects & Methods: a prospective study involving 250 adult healthy volunteers provided equal sexdistribution and age range between 18 & 70 years. The sample was divided into 5 equal groups accordingto age. Demographic data were collected. Cardiac parameters were measured by echocardiography. Bodymeasurements (weight, height, body mass index ‘BMI’ and body surface area ‘BSA’) were taken from eachsubject to be studied with respect to the corresponding age, sex & cardiac parameters.Results: Discriminant scoring was calculated to identify sex using echocardiography with accuracy (65.6%).Conclusion and Recommendations: Presumptive categorization of persons according to sex can beachieved through cardiac profile measured by Echocardiography
