For this reason and especially because of the finding of a high incidence of cardiac rupture among psychotic patients with acute myocardial infarction reported in a companion paper in this journal,1it was thought wise to determine the frequency and circumstances of rupture of the heart in a large general hospital in the same part of the country and among persons of age and social status comparable to those...Bibliography1.
