Case histories, mitral stenosis
Series
Approx. 24.4 m of textual records and graphic material.
This series consists of case history files of patients with mitral stenosis. Like most other patient files of the fonds, almost all of these files contain heart sounds diagrams drawn by Dr. Segall, 6x12" clinical history forms, sections of electrocardiograms attached to dated cards, as well as 4x6" normal heart sounds record forms completed by Dr. Segall which are often accompanied by sections of electrocardiogram readings. Many files also contain correspondence between Dr. Segall and other doctors, medical institutions, and health insurance companies, and occasionally correspondence between Dr. Segall and the patient and/or the patient's family.
The records were separated into their own distinct group in the 1950s when Dr. Segall was involved in a study concerning therapy by surgical commissureotony.
Most of the files are stored in metal card drawers in 4x6" envelopes. Four-drawer metal card cabinets measure 30 x 27 x 44 cm; two-drawer metal card cabinets measure 17 x 37 x 44 cm.
