Проведён анализ медицинской документации ЭхоКГ 98 пациентов в возрасте 20–76 лет обоего пола, обратившихся в УЗ РНПЦ «Кардиология» и имеющим минимальные структурно-функциональные отклонения. Изучали морфометрические показатели сердца и аорты. Установлены половые различия относительно диаметра кольца клапана аорты, диаметра аорты на уровне ее клапана, диаметра дуги аорты, массы миокарда левого желудочка, диаметра выходного тракта левого желудочка, переднезаднего размера правого желудочка и размера правого желудочка сердца в четырехкамерной позиции. Выявлены достоверные статистически значимые корреляционные связи между возрастом человека и диаметром восходящей и нисходящей частей аорты; площадью поверхности тела и массой миокарда левого желудочка сердца. Установлены взаимосвязи между толщиной задней стенки левого желудочка, диаметром аорты уровне клапана аорты, восходящей части и дуги аорты, а также толщиной миокарда межжелудочковой перегородки и размерами правого желудочка. Установлена зависимость между массой миокарда левого желудочка сердца и диаметром выходного тракта левого желудочка. Установлено, что, размеры сердца прямо связаны с площадью поверхности тела, а диаметр аорты в большей степени сопряжён с возрастом человека. Масса миокарда левого желудочка прямо связана с диаметром выносящего тракта левого желудочка и аорты. Сила выявленных корреляций между морфометрическими показателями сердца и начальными отделами аорты у мужчин в целом выше, чем у женщин. Таким образом полученные результаты дополняют имеющиеся научные данные о морфометрических характеристиках сердца и аорты и их корреляционных взаимосвязях у взрослых людей обоего пола, и могут использоваться врачам клинических специальностей в практической деятельности.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This study is devoted to identifying the morphometric characteristics of the heart and various parts of the aorta in adult males and females, as well as assessing correlations between the obtained parameters. The analysis was conducted using echocardiographic medical records from 98 patients (aged 20–76 years, both sexes) who presented to the Republican Scientific and Practical Center “Cardiology” and exhibited minimal structural and functional abnormalities. The investigation focused on morphometric indices of the heart and the aorta. Sex-based differences were identified in aortic valve annulus diameter, aortic diameter at the valve level, aortic arch diameter, left ventricular myocardial mass, left ventricular outflow tract diameter, anteroposterior dimension of the right ventricle, and right ventricular size in the four-chamber view. Statistically significant correlations were found between patient age and diameters of both the ascending and descending aorta, as well as between body surface area and left ventricular myocardial mass. Additional associations were observed between the thickness of the posterior wall of the left ventricle and aortic diameters at the valve level, the ascending aorta, and the aortic arch. The thickness of the interventricular septum was also correlated with right ventricular dimensions. A direct relationship was established between the left ventricular myocardial mass and the diameter of the left ventricular outflow tract. It was found that the heart size is directly proportional to the body surface area, while the aortic diameter is more strongly associated with age. The left ventricular myocardial mass positively correlates with both the diameter of the outflow tract and the aorta. Overall, the strength of the correlations between cardiac morphometric parameters and proximal aortic dimensions was greater in men than in women. The results contribute to existing scientific knowledge about morphometric features of the heart and the aorta and their interrelations in adult individuals of both sexes, and can be applied by clinical specialists in routine medical practice.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>сердце</kwd><kwd>аорта</kwd><kwd>трансторакальная эхокардиография</kwd><kwd>морфометрия</kwd><kwd>корреляционные связи</kwd><kwd>человек</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>heart</kwd><kwd>aorta</kwd><kwd>transthoracic echocardiography</kwd><kwd>morphometry</kwd><kwd>correlation analysis</kwd><kwd>human</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Cardiovascular diseases: Official website of WHO.
