To the few who have attacks prolonged into weeks and even years and who suffer acute heart failure when an extra burden such as a cold and cough is put upon them, it is a tragedy.I am limiting my subject to auricular and nodal tachycardia. The literature does not indicate the number subject to these attacks. This paper is based upon a study of twenty-six proven cases occurring in about four thousand general admissions in three years. If to this twenty-six are added those...References1 LEWIS T: The effects of vagal stimulation upon atrioventricular rhythm, Heart, 1914, V, 247.
