Abstract:
A static morphometric study of the outflow chamber of the left ventricle (OCLV) was investigated in a series of 10 formalin-fixed hearts. A spatial reconstruction of the shape and the volume of the OCLV was carried out by means of a Somaton Plus TR4 Tomodensitometer (Siemens). The technic allows evaluation of the surface of the aortic and the mitral orifices and visualization of the three-dimensional OCLV and LV morphology, as well as calculation of their volumes. The limits of the technic in the dynamic study of the OCLV are presented.
