It has been well recognized that certain disease states such as rheumatic valvular heart disease are associated with alterations in the size of the atria. In this same group of patients characteristic abnormalities in the electrocardiographic P wave are often present, and have come to be accepted as strong evidence for abnormal atrial size-usually referred to as either " hypertrophy " or " dilatation" depending on the configuration of the P wave

Gordon et al. (1965) conducted an observational in Rheumatic valvular heart disease / abnormal atrial size. Electrocardiographic P wave abnormalities was evaluated on Atrial weights and volumes. Electrocardiographic P wave abnormalities are evaluated in relation to atrial weights and volumes in rheumatic valvular heart disease, though the abstract reports no quantitative data.
