The relationship between the membranous part of the interventricular septum and the septal part of the attachment of the tricuspid valve in adult human hearts
Folia Morphol 2008;67(4):251-254.
Abstract
The membranous septum is a difficult structure to demonstrate in vivo. It is
possible to measure its dimensions in a cadaver after the introduction of light
into the aorta, but difficult to do so otherwise. The present study was performed
on a group of 107 formalin-fixed adult hearts from both sexes and
18-90 years of age. The hearts were divided into groups depending on sex and
age. The length of the septal part of the attachment of the tricuspid valve was
divided by the length of the supravalvular part of the membranous interventricular
septum.
