title: [Postmortem contrast cardioventriculography].
abstract: A method of postmortal contrast cardioventriculography on the isolated heart is presented. The cardiac ventriculi are filled with 20% barium sulphate on the gelatinous base. The roentgenologic study is made before and after the selective filling of each ventricle with contrast medium, as well as on the transversal sections of the heart, providing the possibility to assess the character of hypertrophy and dilatation, the volume and the ventricular cavities of the heart. The informative value of the method is enhanced when it is combined with the postmortem coronarography, volume-weight and planimetric cardiometry.
