Sizes of some heart structures in females from the point of view of personalized medicine
Abstract
The aim of the study was to establish the sizes of various structures of the heart in women using the Hitachi Aloka ProSound Alpha 6 ultrasound scanner (Japan), as well as to analyze the correlation between the studied structures of the heart with the age and body mass index (BMI) of the study participants.
Material and methods. An analysis of protocols of sonographic study of 64 women was carried out. To measure heart parameters, an Hitachi Aloka ProSound Alpha 6 scanner was used. Statictical processing was made using STATISTICA v. 6.0 programme.
Results. Left ventricle posterior wall thickness (H = 8,763; p = 0,013) in female of the second period of mature age prevails in comparison with other groups. The correlation analysis revealed a direct relationship between right ventricle anterior wall thickness (r = 0,352; p = 0,008) and BMI. There was no statistically significant relationship between age and studied parameters.
Conclusions. The received data can be used in practice of ultrasound doctors, making it possible to take a fresh look upon the standards of sonography. The obtained results contribute to the development of personalised medicine for early detection and prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
