RESUMO

Mearns, M.B., and Simon, G. (1973).Thorax, 28, 537-546. Patterns of lung and heart growth as determined from serial radiographs of 76 children with cystic fibrosis. Chest radiographs of 76 children with cystic fibrosis were taken each year to determine lung length, lung width, and heart diameter. These measurements were plotted on standard charts against age and studied in relation to the initial clinical status. The changes in the pattern of growth which occurred during a follow-up period of 4 to 9 years (average 7 years) were considered in relation to clinical changes and change in ventilatory capacity.
