Propotions of total body sizes and organometrical parameters of heart and aorta of adult men

Abstract

Purpose: To study correlation of total body sizes, heart and aorta at adult men. Material and Methods: Heart and aorta organometry has been carried out at 80 corpses of adult men (31-70 years) with known anthropometrical parameters with the subsequent statistical and correlative analysis of results. Results: 3 types of constitution of men have been determined, correlations between anthropometrical, organometrical and age parameters have been defined. Conclusion: The heart sizes mostly depend on the age, the shape of thorax, and constitution type.
