In 85 patients with left atrial enlargement proved by echocardiography the authors tested the information capacity of electrocardiography for the diagnosis of this disorder. Only in half the patients enlargement of this cardiac cavity could be assumed from the electrocardiogram. From the results ensues the small sensitivity of ECG signs of enlargement of the left atrium.
