Modified Avtandilov's method of separate heart section of fetuses aged from 13 to 27 weeks of gestation obtained at artificial and spontaneous pregnancy interruption (newborn of 28 to 42 weeks of gestation) provided data of the atrial index (AI) and ventricular index (VI) in each age groups and distributed according to percentil method. Thus in the artificial fetuses normal AI is 1.118-1.353; VI-0.767-1.066; in spontaneous fetuses AI is 1.066-1.500; VI-0.772-1.083; in premature newborns AI is 1.116-1.538. Separation of heart compartments hypertrophy according to the degree is suggested.
