Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyse the correlation between aortic diameter,
heart size, and type of coronary circulation. The study was carried out
on 102 human hearts (59 male and 43 female). Casts of the vascular system of
each heart were prepared using epoxide resins. The hearts were measured for
their size and aorta diameter, and classified to a coronary circulation type. The
examination of materials indicated no significant correlation between aortic
diameter and sex or coronary circulation type. However, a statistically significant
correlation between aortic diameter and heart volume index was found.
