ABSTRACT
Twenty-one cases of idiopathic cardiomegaly which came to necropsy have been reviewed. Investigations included injection and x-ray studies, careful microscopical examination and skip serial sectioning of the conduction systems. The obvious feature was gross cardiomegaly in the absence of atheroma of the large coronary vessels and an associated fibrosis of the right and left bundle-branches. Three hearts showed thickening of the intramural vessels of 80æ to 400æ diameter. We suggest that such changes may be one of the causes of the ischaemic electrocardiographic findings reported in previous epidemiological surveys.(AU)
