Adequate statistics are not yet available as to the efficacy of such therapy, due partly to the fact that relatively few reports on the autopsy incidence of pulmonary embolism in coronary heart disease have been published. Several such reports1, 2, 3dealing with the incidence of thrombo-embolic phenomena in myocardial infarction have been quoted rather frequently as providing a logical basis for Dicumarol therapy. Other reports have dealt with the causes of death...Bibliography1. HellersteinMartin HKJW: Incidence of thrombo-embolic lesions accompanying myocardial infarction, Am. Heart J. 33: 443-452, 1947.
