    AbstractThe deviation to the left of the descending aorta associated with enlarged left atrium was analysed in 96 patients with mitral disease confirmed by angiography and cardiac catheterization. The opinion that this finding may be of value in patients below the age of 50 years was supported. In older age groups it is easily confused with the physiologic unfolding of the aorta, when this occurs at the level of the left atrium.
