Abstract
Heart volume estimations have been made on 185 patients by means of a simple radiological technique. Analysis of these measurements shows an association between heart volume and etiology of heart disease and illustrates the influence of cardiac failure and atrial fibrillation upon heart size. Routine radiological heart volume measurement facilitates appraisal of changes in heart size during periods of observation and allows comparison of groups of cases dealt with during day-to-day clinical practice.Keywords
