CONSTITUTIONAL FEATURES OF HEART VALVES IN WOMEN AT A MATURE AGE

Abstract

The researches of morphometric parameters of the heart valves were performed in 315 female corpses of asthenic, normosthenic and hypersthenic constitutions. Statistically meaningful differences were revealed in the perimeter of the fibrous ring circle of the flap valves and noted in the length of the semilunar valve of the aorta and pulmonary trunk in women with different somatotypes. The most significant differences were determined in standard indices of the valves in women with asthenic and hyperstenic constitutions. The data obtained allowed broadening of conception of the constitutional variability of the heart.
