[Alterations of pulmonary vessels in congenital heart disease. A summarized differential diagnostic table (author's transl)]. 1977

R Felix, and P Thurn

Roentgen signs of congenital heart disease are demonstrated by plain p. a. chest films and kymograms. Diagnostic critieria are discussed which cause increased, decreased, or minimal altered pulmonary blood flow. This simple diagnostic method in combination with the clinical symptom of cyanosis allows differentiation of congenital heart disease prior to catheter examination.
