The ascending aortic fold, a fibrofatty epicardial fold embracing the middle part of the human ascending aorta, was studied in 90 black South African hearts for structural variation. The fold was present in all specimens. It was oblique in 51 cases, horizontal in 17, vertical in 2, oval in 2, horizontal-oblique in 4, vertical-oblique in 6, vertical-horizontal in 3, vertical-horizontal-oblique in 1 and oval-oblique in 1. The oblique form corresponds to the 'classic' form described in the literature.
升主动脉皱襞是一种包裹人类升主动脉中部的纤维脂肪性心外膜皱襞，我们对90颗南非黑人心脏的该皱襞进行了结构变异研究。所有标本中均存在该皱襞。其形态为：51例呈斜形，17例呈水平形，2例呈垂直形，2例呈椭圆形，4例呈水平-斜形，6例呈垂直-斜形，3例呈垂直-水平形，1例呈垂直-水平-斜形，1例呈椭圆形-斜形。斜形形态与文献中描述的“经典”形态相符。
