Idiopathic Cardiomegaly

Abstract

Two cases of cardiomegaly, not due to work stimulus, are described. It is suggested that, since it is clear that cardiomegaly can be a result of chronic deficiency of oxygen, a much more careful assessment of the sufficiency of the coronary blood supply should be carried out in cases of unexplained cardiomegaly than is usual in present pathological practice. © 1960, British Medical Journal Publishing Group.
