Analysing the processes accompanied by changes in cardiomyocyte volume without the formation or loss of myofibrils, it has been proposed to use a new parameter "relative volume fraction" that denotes the volume occupied by the ultrastructure under investigation, as related to primary cell volume, and permits to estimate changes of the ultrastructural volume proper. The value of this parameter may be calculated according to the formula: (Formula: see text).
