Atrophy of the heart presents with distinctive clinical, roentgenographic, and electrocardiographic features that enable its antemortem diagnosis.
May aid antemortem recognition of cardiac atrophy in select cases; leaves open need for validation in larger cohorts.
This critical study of atrophy of the heart is based upon a detailed analysis of 85 proved cases. The clinical, roentgenographic and electrocardiographic features are considered to be sufficiently distinctive to facilitate antemortem recognition. The clinical implications of atrophy of the heart and the reversibility of atrophy and hypertrophy are emphasized.
