Popis: Experimental evidence has been presented which shows that the fundamental postulates of the “latency theory” of partial heart-block are not valid for conduction in the turtle heart. From an examination of interpolated ventricular premature beats it is concluded that the observed phenomena do not compel us to accept that theory for the human heart.
