(1) Radiography of hearts into which lipiodol has
been injected under a pressure equal to the
normal systolic blood pressure of the animals,
provides a method for measuring the diameter,
and consequently the cross section of the aorta
and coronary arteries.

(2) The errors due to pressure, temperature and
post mortem changes have been investigated and
the necessary compensations have been estimated.

(3) Measurements of the aortic and coronary cross
sections have been made on the rat, rabbit, cat,
sheep, man, horse and ox.

(4) The relation between aortic cross section and
body weight is similar to the relation between
basal metabolism and body weight in this series
of animals from rat to ox.

(5) In this series of animals the aortic cross
section appears to vary in such a way that the
velocity of blood flow in the aorta is similar
in all cases.

(6) In this series of animals the coronary cross
section per unit of heart weight varies roughly
in the same manner as the work performed per
unit of heart weight.

(7) In this series of animals the coronary cross
section appears to vary in such a way that the
velocity of the blood flow through the coronaries
is similar in all cases.
