โฆ Synopsis
This paper reports the age-related changes in the histological features of the sinoatrial node (SAN). The hearts of 106 persons dying at different ages (2 days-83 years), without clinical or pathological evidence of cardiac disease, were taken and divided into seven age-groups. Serial sections with a thickness of 2 microns, parallel to the long axis of the SAN, were prepared. Sections with the maximal area of the SAN were stained with hematoxylin/eosin (H & E) and Betty's method. The largest area of SAN were calculated by a computerized microimage analysis system. The age-related changes of the human SAN were discussed.
