Echocardiographic studies were completed among 190 people of the middle years second period, 108 people being female and 82 being male. The aortic ventricle size, the left atrium size and the right ventricle size, their mutual correlation, myocardial mass and the aortic ventricle myocardial mass index were studied. Anatomical heart changes revealed with the help of echocardiography depend on the type of the aortic-ventricle geometric model. Myocardial hypertrophy of the aortic ventricle is accompanied by the increase in the size of the right ventricle among the people of female genders at the statistically significant level. All the measures studied except the relative parietes thickness depend on the gender. There are gender differences of the aortic ventricle remodeling observed, i.e. higher rates of the aortic ventricle myocardial mass index among men, different dynamics of the aortic ventricle myocardial mass index measures depending on the geometric type of the aortic ventricle, their more prominent augmentation among women in the groups with eccentric left ventricle hypertrophy. A man's heart shows lower functional possibilities as compared to women. |
