Abstract
We have analyzed 674 autopsy reports of patients who died suddenly within 24 hours (myocardial infarction, stroke) and who suffered from arterial hypertension (AH) during their lifetime. There were 388 men (60,3%) and 255 women (39,7%). The study excluded cases that could have been caused by another cause of development (left ventricular hypertrophy, right ventricular hypertrophy) of LVH or RVH (defects, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, etc.). The subjects were divided into 7 age groups, with a 10-year step, starting with the age category up to 29 years old and ending with the older age group of 80 years and older. Heart size was determined with a measuring metal ruler. Ventricular muscle thickness was determined on transverse incisions made midway between the apex of the heart and the valve ring. The normal thickness of the left ventricle wall (excluding papillary muscles) was taken to be 0,7-1,2 cm, and the right ventricle wall thickness was 0,2-0,3 cm. The authors concluded that right ventricular hypertrophy is a common manifestation of hypertension; there are gender differences in the incidence and severity of RVH. A close relationship was found between the hypertrophies of both ventricles of the heart. In the presence of LV hypertrophy, RV hypertrophy develops in a significant number of cases (87%).
