Abstract
This article emphasizes that the abnormalities noted on chest x-ray films of the chest can be diagnostic of giant left atrium. It also points out that a giant left atrium that occasionally occurs in patients with rheumatic mitral valve regurgitation does not occur in patients with mitral regurgitation due to other causes.
