AB  - In 49 patients suffering of heart diseases we have studied the changes of 
      radiologic cardiac measurements and systolic time intervals (STI) in the four 
      functional classes of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification, 
      investigating also the existence of any relationship between these different 
      parameters. Only the patients in functional classes 3rd and 4th showed 
      significant changes in STI and radiologic measurements as compared to the control 
      group. Moreover, a significant negative correlation has been observed between 
      relative heart volume and left ventricular ejection time (LVET) (r = 0.69, P less 
      than 0.001) and LVETc (r = 0.82, P less than 0.001) and a positive correlation 
      between relative heart volume and pre-ejection period (PEP) (r = 0.59, P less 
      than 0.01) and PEP/LVET ratio (r = 0.75, P less than 0.001). These results seem 
      to demonstrate that relative heart volumetry is a fairly accurate index of the 
      cardiac conditions in non valvular heart diseases.
