Parameters of volume of the atria and left ventricle in men and women of the mesomorphic body type according to the results of performing echocardiography

The aim of the study was to determine the indicators of the volume of the atria and left ventricle in men and women of the first and second periods of the adulthood of the mesomorphic body type with a normal body mass index when performing echocardiography and to assess the presence or absence of a correlation between these parameters and the sex and age of the subjects. The analysis of the protocols of ultrasound examination of the heart of 128 conditionally healthy persons of the first and second periods of adulthood of the mesomorphic body type with a body mass index of 18,5-24,99 kg/m2 was carried out. They have no pulmonary and cardiac pathology and risks of cardiovascular diseases. Echocardiography was performed using a scanner Aloka ProSound Alpha 6. When determining the correlation between the indicators of the volume of the atria and the left ventricle with the sex of the examined person of the mesomorphic body type with a normal body mass index, no statistically significant difference was found (p > 0,05). In females, a moderate direct correlation was found between the volume of the left atrium and the volume of the left ventricle with age. In men, this relationship has not been established (p > 0,05).
