Heart and body weight were reviewed in reports of 223 human cadavers. Of these, 146 were of control (normal) hearts and 77 of hearts with ventricular septal defects. In each case the heart weight as a percentage of body weight was calculated (defined as pathological heart-body ratio). It was observed that under the age of 4 years, monstrous cardiomegalies may reach 3.2% of the total body weight. These "king sized" hearts were not found above the age of 4.
在223具人类尸体的报告中对心脏和体重进行了评估。其中，146具为对照（正常）心脏，77具为患有室间隔缺损的心脏。在每种情况下，计算心脏重量占体重的百分比（定义为病理性心身比）。据观察，4岁以下的巨大心脏肥大可能达到体重的3.2%。4岁以上未发现这些“超大号”心脏。
