Cor Pulmonale

A Consideration of Clinical and Autopsy Findings

I. WALZER M.D.1 and T. T. FROST M.D.2

1 The Department of Medicine, Veterans Administration Center, Whipple, Arizona.
2 The Department of Pathology, Veterans Administration Center, Whipple, Arizona.

1) Autopsy findings from November, 1948, to October, 1951, at this hospital demonstrated an incidence of right ventricular hypertrophy of 50 per cent in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and chronic emphysema.

2) Chronic cor pulmonale is much more frequently seen at autopsy than the clinical diagnosis would indicate. Awareness of the situation in which cor pulmonale is particularly prevalent, and the use of appropriate diagnostic study, should make clinical appraisal of the patient more accurate and lead to more effective treatment and more intelligent prognosis.
