The widespread use of basal metabolism equipment indicates the acceptance of this principle by the medical profession.It is well known, however, that increased basal metabolism is not always synonymous with hyperthyroidism. There are a number of conditions which may at one time or another in their course exhibit such elevations in metabolism. This may be noted in heart failure; in some cases of hypertension; during the course of...Bibliography1. TROELL A: Basedow mit niedrigem Grundumsatzwert, Arch. f. klin. Chir., 1932, clxix, 774.
