In such cases the first EGG

suspicious (as any good doc

call a serial" ECG-one of

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: What
causes an enlarged heart?
What can be done for it
once it enlarges? Sincerely
Mrs. B., Los Angeles
THE ENLARGED HEART
is usually the sick heart. 1t
means that this vital muscle
has been put to some un-
natural strain which causes
it to increase its normal size.
Under certain conditions, the
original bundle of muscles be-
comes inadequate: 1t isn't
strong enough to send the
blood throughout the body to
meet its requirements.
That's why the patient who
has a failing heart gets short
of breath on the least ex-
ertion; why he may get pain
in the chest when he walks
a few hundred yards.
After a long period of time,
any disease or deformity
which puts strain on the
heart muscle may cause it
to enlarge. For example:
Congenital heart disease,
rheumatic heart disease. high
blood pressure of long stand
ing, arteriosclerosis, coron-
ary disease and many other
conditions.
What to do for the en-
larged heart? That must be
evident to you now. Our job
is to treat the type of heart
disease that has caused it
to hypertrophy (enlarge).
Why treat the enlargement
at all? Because there's a
limit to how much a heart
can enlarge and keep on
working,

Translated from the Ger

Gerhard Szczesny's THE
Future Of Unbelief" was pub
lished in 1858 in Germany,
where the author Is a direc-
tor Of the Culture and Edu-
cation Section Of Radio Ba-
varia. Its attack on Christian
dogma is not the fundamental
thesis Of the book, which is,
rather, that Christianity has
outlived its usefulness and
is now the source Of one of
the neuroses with which mod
ern man Is beset. Unlike
other problems Of man, he
believes, this one could be
solved merely by dismissing
or supplanting the church.
Szczesny does not deny the
value Of religion. He does
\ not advocate reason as the
sole arbiter Of morality and
behavior. He wants a new
religion that is not in di-
rect and inevitable conflict
with contemporary mans hu-
mainly - his striving and
achievement. Christianity's
basic tenets include the i'm
perfectibility of man, the
foregone impossibility of an
individuals winning divinity
(unlike Buddhism, where
every man can hope to be-
come a Buddha). and a post
humous salvation available
to anyone who, without
