The heart weights, ventricular wall thickness and valve circumferences were measured in 507 autopsy specimens of normal hearts from persons aged from 10 to 90 years. The heart weights increased with age and were greater in the males than in the females, except from the 6th to 8th decades ...
Recent information has expanded our knowledge regarding age-related changes in the normal heart. With advancing age there are significant increases in heart weight, ventricular septal and probably left ventricular free wall thickness, and in valve circumferences. In the myocardium, there are increases ...
Heart weights, ventricular wall thicknesses, and valve circumferences were measured in 765 autopsy specimens from normal hearts from persons 20 to 99 years old. Body weight was a better predictor of normal heart weight than was body surf... DW Kitzman,DG Scholz,PT Hagen,... - 《Mayo Clini...
since low blood pressure can also be caused by diseases such as heart valve defects, anemia or adrenal dysfunction such as Addison’s disease, this should also be investigated in the long term. Measures such as sufficient fluid intake (2 – 2.5 liters per day), alternating showers, sauna se...
Circumference, motion, and valley-to-valley span were similar in both groups. Annulus area correlated best with peak-to-peak span (r: 0.80 to 0.93).;Conclusion: Ischemic mitral regurgitation is associated not only with abnormal annulus shape, but also with a significantly reduced dynamic response...
Birth weight, length and head circumference (OFC) were 2.830 kg (10th centile), 47.5 cm (3rd to 10th centile) and 34 cm (25–50th centile), respec- tively. Apgar scores were 9/9. He was breastfed, displaying a normal length and weight growth. During the first month of life an ...
Heart weights, ventricular wall thicknesses, and valve circumferences were measured in 765 autopsy specimens from normal hearts from persons 20 to 99 years old. Body weight was a better predictor of normal heart weight than was body surface area or height, and mean heart weights were greater ...
Heart weight correlated better with body weight and body surface area than with body height or age of patients. In contrast, ventricular wall thicknesses and valve circumferences correlated better with age of the patients than with measurements of body size. In both sexes at all ages, the ...
Various dimensions were noted in great details.The annulus was found to be "D" shaped with a mean circumference of 10.7 cm in males and 9.167 cm in females. The anterior leaflet had a basal length of 3.952 cm in males and 3.137 cm in females. The height of cusp was 2.517 cm in ...
Tricuspid and pulmonary valve circumference and diameter were consistently greater than in the mitral and aortic valves, respectively. We believe the new morphometric data and their innovative interpretation to have immediate applications in both the morphological and functional areas of cardiology....
