LeWald1recorded an incidence of one in 35,000 physical examinations of recruits for the United States Army. We have recognized two in approximately 15,000 private patients. Dextrocardia complicated by acquired organic heart disease must be rare. No careful search of the literature has been made but a recent paper,2in which a case of dextrocardia complicated by calcareous aortic stenosis was described, listed only five former case reports. In these the acquired lesions were mitral stenosis,3hypertensive heart disease,4coronary thrombosis,5hypertensive and coronary heart disease,6and syphilitic aortitis and...Bibliography1.
