| Abstract: | With general atherosclerosis, the ploidy of left ventricle myocytes in the hearts of patients that underwent infarction corresponds to the norm variation irrespective of the ventricle and heart weights. At heart diseases the myocyte nucleus ploidy is often much higher than the norm variability both in hypertrophied ventricles and in those with normal weight. An additional polyploidization is suggested that may occur at some natural ontogenetic periods of human development (in the childhood) during heart diseases both innate or spontaneously appearing at the particular time. Unlike, the myocardial hypertrophy in adults does not stimulate myocyte polyploidy. |
