Key result
The abstract outlines a study to correlate radiographic pulmonary artery size with pulmonary artery pressure in mitral valvular disease, but provides no quantitative results.
Why the study?

Study reports no quantitative results; leaves open whether radiographic pulmonary artery size estimates pressure in mitral valvular disease.
Observational
Does radiographic determination of the size of the pulmonary artery and its major branches correlate with pulmonary artery pressure in patients with mitral valvular disease?
This study aimed to evaluate whether radiographic measurement of pulmonary artery size can reliably estimate pulmonary artery pressure to potentially avoid cardiac catheterization in patients with mitral valvular disease.
Jacobson et al. (1957) conducted an observational in Mitral Valvular Disease. Radiographic estimation of pulmonary artery size was evaluated on Correlation between the size of the pulmonary artery and its major branches and the pulmonary artery pressure. The abstract outlines a study to correlate radiographic pulmonary artery size with pulmonary artery pressure in mitral valvular disease, but provides no quantitative results.
