“…In the present study a circumference between 7.5 -8.5 cm was found in maximum number of specimens (40%) which was similar with the values reported by many other observers. 13,19,20,25 The mean diameter of mitral valve in present study was 2.01 ± 0.27cm (Table 4) which was similar with the studies by Gunnal 14 but lower than the values of other researcher where they had used a cardiac sizer for measurement. 19 The present mean value was also lower than the values of other observers.…”

The human heart valve is an integral structure and the valvular heart disease is one of the most common disease of the heart. Such cardiac disease require repair of the valve and valve replacement surgery where the patient’s diseased valve is replaced by a prosthetic valve. The aim of this study was to measure the annular circumferences and diameters of tricuspid and mitral valves in cadavers. A morphometric study was conducted in Department of Anatomy at Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital where total 50 cadaveric hearts were taken up for the study. The tricuspid and the mitral valves were exposed by dissection method. Measurements were taken by using a thread and a digital vernier caliper and obtained data were analysed by using SPSS-16. The mean, frequency and standard deviation of circumferences and diameters of both tricuspid and the mitral valves were analysed and were found as (a) The mean annular circumference of tricuspid valve was 11.22 ± 0.20 cm (b) The mean diameter of tricuspid valve was 2.33 ± 0.04 cm. (c) The mean annular circumference of mitral valve was 9.22 ± 1.49 cm (d) the mean diameter of mitral valve was 2.01 ± 0.27 cm. There were few literatures available on the study of cadaveric heart valves in Nepal thus this study will provide a guideline to the clinicians, radiologists and also to cardiothoracic surgeons performing various valve surgeries to assess the prosthetic valve of appropriate size and to the anthropologists also to maintain a standardized data on cardiac valves as well.

“…The majority (72%) of the mitral valves had a circumference ranging from 7.53 to 8.47 cm in his study. [24] These values are lesser than our study. This difference may be due to the difference in method and material between our study and their study.…”

Introduction: There was no uniformity in measuring the anthropological measurements of the heart in the literature. It varies from study to study, country to country, region to region within the same country and author to author according to the material and methodology of the study. So measurements of the heart also vary according to the methods used by different authors in their study. The normality standard for organ anthropometric measurements must be established in a specific reference sample for each population, as the normality values may be different under genetic and environmental influences. This study is aimed to determine the average size of mitral and aortic valves of the adult heart in autopsies done in Teaching Hospital, Colombo South of Sri Lanka. Assess the average circumferential length of the mitral and aortic and also determine the relationship with socio-demographic factors such as body weight, sex, and age and body length.Methodology: This study was designed as a descriptive cross-sectional study done in fresh formalin unfixed adult hearts recovered from deceased died due to traumatic and unnatural causes. Samples were collected for one-year period between the periods of September 2018 to September 2019.Results: Hundred and twenty-two ( 122) samples (68 males and 54 females) were included in this study among 282 adult hearts collected during this period due to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The average circumferential length of the mitral and aortic valves were in cm for male and females 9.49, 8.76 and 7.05, 6.88. Conclusion:This pilot study revealed that intermingling findings with western studies and eastern studies. Especially male mitral valve annular circumferences were compatible with western studies and other findings were compatible with eastern studies. A significant association was demonstrated in the circumference of MV with age and body length (p value = 0.029, 0.034). We recommend large scales multi-centered studies to find out the normality standard for heart measurements in Sri Lankan population.
