title: Analysis of the influence of ontogenetic time and prenatal hypoxia factors on the morphometric parameters of the specialized contact apparatus in the rat ventricular myocardium.
abstract: Background. Cardiovascular diseases remain the main cause of death around the world and among Europeans and despite recent decreases in mortality rates in many countries they are still responsible for over 4 million deaths per year. The proportion of all deaths that are attributable to cardiovascular disease is substantially greater among women (52%) than men (42%). Prenatal hypoxia causes morphological and functional changes in the fetus and newborn and, in particularly, in the myocardium. That
