Some ECG criteria and the radiologic method of Westcott are evaluated against echocardiography in the left atrial enlargement. ECG shows generally a very good sensitivity (72%); particularly when the diameter is more than 5 cm. The radiologic findings show significant correlative indexes in normal and in softly enlarged atria. In atria greater than or equal to 5 cm the method is not so precise; the reasons are discussed on an anatomical basis. We acknowledge an important place to the ECG described criteria and to the Westcott method in the depistage of the left atrium enlargement.
针对左心房扩大的情况，将一些心电图标准和韦斯科特放射学方法与超声心动图进行了对比评估。心电图总体显示出非常高的敏感性（72%）；尤其是当直径超过5厘米时。放射学检查结果在正常和轻度扩大的心房中显示出显著的相关指标。在直径大于或等于5厘米的心房中，该方法不够精确；从解剖学角度讨论了原因。我们认可所描述的心电图标准和韦斯科特方法在左心房扩大筛查中的重要地位。
