Diagnostic potentials of morphometric methods in studies of human right and left ventricle hypertrophy were analyzed. Different cardiometric methods gave dissimilar information on the quantitative changes in parts of the hypertrophic heart. Composite morphometry using the methods of individual weighing, external-internal, planimetric-weight and histometric determinations followed by mathematical treatment revealed the dynamics of the quantitative parameters of hyperfunctioning heart parts most objectively.
