다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Various methods and availabilities of chest measurements in nomal Korean adults and children have been studied by many investigators, but that in senile Korean have not been reported yet. The authors have measured of cardiovascular system in 370 cases of Chest PA view of normal senile Korean checked at Ewha Womans University Hospital from April 1978 to April 1980 and compared with normal Koran adults for the evaluation of difference between them. The results were as follow : 1. In cardian measurements ; Mean value of transverse diameter of heart was 13.46cm in male and 13.06cm in female, cardiothoracic ratio was 0.48 in male and 0.52 in female, long diagmeter of heart was 14.76cm in male and 14.02cm is female, and broad diameter of heart was 11.67cm in male and 11.08 cm in female. 2. In aortic measurements : Mean value of width of ascending aorta was 9.30 cm in male and8.48cm in female, ratio of length of ascending aorta and right atrium was 1.15 in male and 1.16 in female, an calcification in aortic knob was 13.46% in male and 18.87% in female. 3. In pulmonary vessels ' Mean value of diameter of right descending pulmonary artery was 1.49cm in male and 1.45cm in female , right hilar vascular distance was 4.34cm in male and 4..12cm in female in female, and left hilar vascular distance was 5.16cm in male and 5.01cm in female. 4. The results of comparison revealed significant morphological differences of senile cardiovascular system from younger adult group and obtained effective statistical measurement.
