Nomogram to calculate oxygen consumption.
A nomogram has been devised for the rapid derivation of the oxygen consumption from the expired minute volume and the fractional concentrations of expired CO2 and O2.

Infective aneurysm of the left ventricle: angiographic and echocardiographic features.
A 17-year-old man with staphylococcal endocarditis of the mitral valve developed an infective aneurysm of the posterior left ventricular wall. Echocardiography revealed an echo-free space posterior to the posterior left ventricular wall. This echo-free space undoubtedly represented the aneurysmal sac, because it could be temporarily obliterated by injecting saline into it and was no longer detectable following surgical closure of the sac. Thus echocardiography may be helpful in the detection of an infective aneurysm of the left ventricle.

Nomogram for calculation of left ventricular volumes.
A nomogram has been devised for the rapid derivation of left ventricular volumes from single-plane angiograms obtained in the 30 degrees right anterior oblique projection. The left ventricular volumes are derived from the use of the area-length formula of Dodge. The computed left ventricular volumes may then be adjusted to correspond to the actual volumes by an appropriate conversion chart.

Massive left atrial thrombus: a case report.
This case report describes a patient with aortic and mitral valvular disease who had a massive left atrial thrombus. The left atrial thrombus produced a disappearance of signs of mitral stenosis and a reversed pan diastolic mitral valve gradient. This gradient occurred in the absence of any diastolic mitral insufficiency and may have been due to artifactual lowering of the left atrial pressure by an organized left atrial clot.
