Forty-seven patients with paroxysmal auricular tachycardia seen in the author's private practice within the last few years have been studied in the preparation of this paper.OBSERVATIONSThe criterion for diagnosis of paroxysmal auricular tachycardia on the included cases largely depends upon an accurate history...Bibliography1.
