[Morphometric study and mass measurement of the heart of rats in long-term hypokinesia].
Hearts of adult rats exposed to 30, 60, 90, 120 and 165-day hypokinesia were examined by histological, morphometric and massmetric methods. Prolonged hypokinesia delayed rat growth and terminated heart growth. As compared to the controls, the delayed increase of the heart mass of hypokinetic rats was induced by the discontinued growth of cardiomyocytes. The growth of the right and the left heart was inhibited in a similar degree.
