LV segments may appear on lateral chest films; leaves open diagnostic utility without prospective validation.
Observational (n=122)
Can segments of the left ventricular circumference be visualized on conventional lateral chest films?
Segments of the left ventricular circumference can be visualized on conventional lateral chest films, primarily due to the epicardial fat layer and varying heart thickness.
Alfred Szamosi (1978) reported an observational. Conventional lateral chest films vs. Cardioangiography was evaluated on Visibility of segments of the left ventricular circumference. Conventional lateral chest films demonstrated visible segments of the left ventricular circumference in 122 patients, with findings confirmed by cardioangiography in 75 cases.
