[Roentgencardiometry and prognosis in myocardial infarct (clinical and roentgenological correlations)].

Primary roentgenocardiographic findings (within the first two days of infarction) were correlated with the assessment of improvement in patients' condition at the post-hospital rehabilitation stage (2 years' follow-up). A relationship between the category of severity of the patient's condition at the acute stage of infarction, its long-term improvement and the initial size of the heart was demonstrated. It is suggested that roentgenocardiometric data can provide an essential addition to the criteria of clinical and occupational prognosis in myocardial infarction patients.
