ANATOMICAL PARAMETERS OF THE HEART PARTS AND ITS MAIN ARTERIES IN YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN OF THE MESOMORPHIC BODY TYPE ACCORDING TO ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to obtain the anatomical parameters of the heart and its main arteries in young men and women of the mesomorphic body type according to echocardiography.Material and methods. The analysis of the protocols of ultrasound examination of the heart of 103 healthy persons (47 men and56 women aged 17 to 20) of the mesomorphic body type with a body mass index of 18.5-24.99 kg/m² was carried out. They have no pulmonary and cardiac pathology and risks of cardiovascular diseases. Echocardiography was performed using a scanner Aloka ProSound Alpha 6.Results. The average values of some heart parameters in men are greater than in women: the upper-lower size of the left atrium is 4,1 mm higher, the antero-posterior size of the right atrium is 2,3 mm higher, the thickness of the left ventricle is 0,9 mm higher, the thickness of the right ventricle is 0,4 mm higher, the volume of the left atrium in is 6,1 ml higher, the volume of the left ventricle is 20,8 ml higher.Conclusion. The obtained results supplement the data on the sizes of the atria, ventricles, interventricular septum, the main arteries of the heart in conditionally healthy young men and women of the mesomorphic body type. These results may be a base for determination of separate regularities of age anatomy, can have practical significance as norm benchmarking and will be useful fordoctors of functional diagnostics during heart ultrasound.
