These 47 cases have been tabulated by Yater, Cor nell and Claytor.1In nine cases the auriculoventricular dissociation was due to calcareous or fibrocalcareous lesions of the bundle of His. Together with fibrosis of the bundle or bundle and branches, fibrosis of the two bundle branches without lesions of the main bundle, and gummatous invasion of the bundle, this type of lesions constituted...Bibliography1.
