title: [Quantitative functional analysis of the left ventricle in coronary heart disease: an evaluation of current methods. I description of basic methods and definition of normal range (author's transl)].
abstract: The present work consists of an evaluation of quantitative laevocardiographic methods of analysis in coronary heart disease. An attempt has been made to find a correlation between the laevocardiographic results and the extent of coronary artery disease, heart size on a conventional chest X-ray with left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. In the first part, basic methods are described, particularly the laevocardiographic area-length-method of Dodge. The accuracy of the procedure and its statistical methods are discussed in detail.
