Waist of Hearts

The cardiac waist is a narrowing of the X-ray shadow of the heart, which is observed at the border between the shadow of the heart and large vessels in the anterior projection. The heart waist is an important diagnostic sign for many heart diseases. Normally, the waist of the heart has a rounded shape and a clear boundary between the shadow of the heart and the vessels. However, with some heart conditions, such as coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, aortic stenosis, or aortic stenosis, the heart waist may become flattened or even misshapen, which may indicate serious heart problems.

The narrowing of the cardiac waist occurs due to a decrease in the volume of blood in the heart and an increase in the volume of blood in the vessels, which leads to a decrease in the size of the heart shadow. This can be caused by various reasons, including a decrease in myocardial contractility, an increase in the volume of the heart chambers, or disturbances in blood flow in large vessels.

To diagnose heart diseases associated with a narrowing of the heart waist, various research methods are used, such as echocardiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and others. These methods can provide a more accurate picture of your heart's condition and help identify potential problems.

Overall, a narrowing of the heart waist is an important symptom that may indicate the presence of serious heart disease. Therefore, if you notice any changes in the shape or size of your waist heart, it is recommended that you see your doctor for further testing and treatment.
