[Correlative morphological studies of the heart of guinea pigs].
Investigations were conducted to record the following morphological parameters from hearts of guinea pigs (alb/Jena, inbred strain): absolute and relative heart weight as well as weights of left and right ventricles and of the interventricular septum. Correlations are described and discussed between the values recorded as well as between those values and body weight and changes in the course of ageing. The point is made that investigations of this kind are helpful in describing heart development in its totality and may provide better prerequisites for appraisal of pathological conditions.
