Ballistocardiogram in Chronic Severe Anemia

Abstract

Serial ballistocardiograms of 30 patients with chronic severe anemia were studied to assess the cardiovascular state in anemia and after the cure of anemia. The findings in the ballistocardiogram have been compared to those in the electrocardiogram and the roentgenogram. Significance of an abnormal ballistocardiogram, after the cure of anemia is stressed.
