All other forms of cor pulmonale were excluded such as pulmonary fibrosis from all causes, pulmonary emphysema, mitral stenosis, left-sided heart failure from any eticlogy, particularly multiple peripheral organized emboli within the lung, and congenital heart disease such as anomalous pulmonary venous return, septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus.The divergency of opinion as to the existence of primary pulmonary hypertension is well illustrated by the varying opinions recently expressed by the following outstanding authorities in personal communications to the authors: Cournandi wrote, "I cannot deny that the syndrome might exist in very rare instances.
