title: [X-ray angiocardiographic characteristics of the heart in arterial hypertension].
abstract: Correlation-statistical analysis of the roentgenocardiometric indices and the findings of left ventriculography in 30 patients with arterial hypertension was conducted. A significant inter-relationship of the roentgenometrical criteria of enlargement of the heart (cardiothoracic index, the extent of convexity of the arch of the pulmonary artery and, to a lesser measure, the cardiac volume) with the mass of the myocardium and the thickness of the left ventricular wall was revealed. The roentgenological criteria may complement the existing methods of the assessment of the degree of myocardial hypertrophy in arterial hypertension.
