The cases were divided into five groups as follows: Group I, coronary artery disease with definite myocardial damage; Group II, hypertension and hypertensive heart disease; Group III, rheumatic heart disease; Group IV, individuals with cardiac symptoms but no demonstrable cardiac disease; Group V, general constitutional disease (non-cardiac).It was shown that the order of frequency and degree of response were Groups I, II, III, V and IV—the first showing the highest frequency and...References1.
