The coexistence of these two disorders of the heart beat, however, is a clinical rarity. Previous to the example which is here reported, I find in the literature a total of fifteen cases of auricular flutter occurring in the presence of total auriculo-ventricular block, while in two patients only, those of Schott6and of Gallemaerts,11was there...References1 RITCHIE WT: Proc.
