As more attention is given to this group of cases it becomes apparent that those which are truly idiopathic constitute a small minority. S. Van Creveld2and others have shown that many cases of cardiac enlargement thought to be idiopathic are Von Gierke's disease, or "hepatomegalia glycogenica," in which there is glycogen infiltration of the heart, liver, and kidneys. Cardiac enlargement has also been shown to occur in the primary anemias of childhood, particularly in...Bibliography1. DAMMINMOORE GJRA: Cardiac muscle in idiopathic hypertrophy of infancy, Arch.
