Abstract
Objective: to study the ultrasound characteristics of the structure and location of the heart and blood vessels in children of different age groups, taking into account the harmony of physical development.Materials and methods: 160 people aged 4 to 18 years were surveyed. All the children included in the study were divided into four groups, according to the WHO. Anthropometric dimensions were evaluated using centile tables. There are 3 rates of physical development: age-appropriate; advancing age; lagging behind age norms, as well as harmonious, moderately disharmonious and high disharmonious development. Echocardiography was performed on a VIVID-3 scanner, General Electric, USA, using sector sensors with a frequency of 3-8 MHz. Statistical processing of the results were performed using the Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and Statistica 12.0 for Windows software package. Results: the morphometric parameters of cardial structures increase proportionally with age, having a significant range of deviation in the group. Disharmonious type of physical development is most often found in children of puberty. Among children of age I and II groups, harmonious physical development dominates and, in a small number, a moderately disharmonious type is formed-5 (14.3 %) and 11 (20.3 %) cases, respectively. Conclusion: the pronounced inter-group differences between the studied generally accepted and additional ultrasound dimensions of the heart testify to the expediency of using them as additional measurements in the experimental modeling of the chest cavity.
