Sixty-two autopsied hearts, with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) caused by mitral regurgitation (MR), aortic failure (AR), combined valvular disease (CVD), hypertension (HHD), or ischemia (IHD), and 23 control hearts with normal left ventricles were studied morphologically for analysis of modes of hypertrophy and for ECG-pathology correlation. Basic disorders modify the mode of hypertrophy; that is, elongated AR-type LV makes muscle fiber orientation in the outer layer more vertical, and globular MR-type LV makes it more horizontal than normal. High-voltage QRS correlates with hypertrophy of the outer layer which is often associated with that of the inner layer. ST depression and T changes correspond to relative deterioration of the inner and median layers, respectively.

An attempt to find out the causes of atrial fibrillation was made in this study; although this does not represent total picture of whole population as the number of cases was limited and taken from a particular area for a limited period. Among the causes in our country, rheumatic mitral valvular disease topped the list followed by rheumatic multiple valvular disease IHD, HHD; lone atrial fibrillation came in the aetiology sequentially. This information is valuable in regard to management as rheumatic heart disease, the prime cause of atrial fibrillation in our country.
