is suggested. Not surprisingly, the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, with its longer course around the
aortic arch, is more frequently involved than the right nerve, which passes around the subclavian

improve hoarseness of voice. Owing to the rarity of vocal fold paralysis in heart disease, the

years, many authors in their studies, although unable to fully explain the mechanism of the
syndrome, emphasized importance of other factors besides atrial dilatation. It has been hypothesised
by some that patients with arteriosclerotic heart diseases suddenly suffered left recurrent laryngeal
