Kinetocardiography, ECG and radiography, were compared as ways of obtaining early diagnosis of chronic cor pulmonale in two series of patients (81 in all) with chronic obstructive bronchopneumopathy. Kinetocardiography proved markedly superior in this respect. It revealed right ventricular pressure overload in a higher percentage of cases and at an earlier stage, i.e. when PAP values were little above normal resting values, of even when their increase appeared only during physical effort.
