Abstract

Analysis of radiographs of the lungs and case histories of 80 patients who were hospitalized for acute myocardial infarction revealed a direct relationship between the width of the right pulmonary artery and the value of the Moore index on the degree of stagnation in the pulmonary circulation. These values were greatest in alveolar pulmonary edema.
