In a material of 162 patients with different types of cardiomyopathy it was found that the standard chest radiograms could give important contributions to the diagnosis of the disease. The two main groups hypertrophic and other cardiomyopathy could in most instances be separated from each other. Nearly all patients had an abnormal chest radiogram when first studied. A positive roentgen diagnosis no standard chest examination supports a clinically suspected diagnosis of cardiomyopathy and should be possible in at least 80% of the patients. Angiocardiography can always provide the diagnosis in unclear cases and gives details of anatamy and function of the left and right ventricles in patients where surgical intervention of an intraventricular obstruction is contemplated.
在162例不同类型心肌病患者的资料中发现，标准胸部X线片对该病的诊断有重要作用。肥厚型心肌病和其他类型心肌病这两个主要组别在大多数情况下可以相互区分。几乎所有患者初次检查时胸部X线片都有异常。一项没有标准胸部检查支持的阳性X线诊断可支持临床疑似的心肌病诊断，并且至少在80%的患者中应是可行的。在不明确的病例中，心血管造影总能做出诊断，并能给出考虑进行心室腔内梗阻手术干预患者左右心室的解剖和功能细节。
