The incidence of an abnormal atriogram was examined in an open male population aged 25-64 years from the survey data on a random representative sample. The abnormalities in the atriogram were revealed in 30.1% of cases. Potential causes of atriographic abnormalities were analyzed. It is stressed that it is expedient to identify subjects with abnormal atriograms in mass population surveys and followup them as well as to define measures to prevent atrial flutter or fibrillation.
