Steele and Anthony1in 1933 were able to find but 15 cases including their own and of these only seven were studied by means of electrocardiograms. Since then several additional cases have been recorded in the literature.2It is not the purpose of this communication to review to any extent the literature pertaining to the arrhythmias associated with Cheyne-Stokes respiration but to report the study of an interesting case coming under our personal observation. The effect of various therapeutic...Bibliography1. STEELEANTHONY JMAJ: Arrhythmia of the heart associated with Cheyne-Stokes breathing. Report of a case showing auriculo-ventricular block, Am.
