The abstract describes the methodology for correlating left atrial pressure with Kerley B lines and left atrial size in patients with rheumatic heart disease, though results are not reported in the abstract.
Melhem et al. (1961) conducted an observational in Rheumatic heart disease (n=110). Mean left atrial pressure and left atrial size was evaluated on Correlation of mean left atrial pressure with the appearance of Kerley B lines and left atrial size. The abstract describes the methodology for a study correlating mean left atrial pressure with Kerley B lines and left atrial size in 110 patients, but reports no quantitative results.
