The hearts from 31 fetuses aged from 12 to 40 weeks' gestation were dissected after fixation. The right ventricle and the left ventricle plus septum were weighed separately and a ratio was established. The total and separate ventricular weights increase steadily with age and at a similar rate. Throughout fetal life the left ventricle plus septum is larger than the right ventricle, but the right ventricle forms a greater proportion of the total ventricular weight than it does in the child or the adult.For the first time, a table of normal fetal heart weights and ratios obtained using the method of Fulton, Hutchinson, and Jones (1952) is presented.
对31例妊娠12至40周胎儿的心脏在固定后进行解剖。分别称取右心室以及左心室加室间隔的重量,并计算两者的比值。心室总重量及各部分重量均随年龄稳步增加,且增长速率相似。在整个胎儿期,左心室加室间隔比右心室大,但右心室占心室总重量的比例高于儿童或成人。首次给出了采用富尔顿、哈钦森和琼斯(1952年)方法获得的正常胎儿心脏重量及比值表。
