Popis: 1.1. In a series of seventeen cases of congestive heart failure which were followed over varying periods of time (76 to 977 days), we produced and maintained a completely edema-free state which we have termed the "basal weight level". 2.2. The simple procedure which is employed in gaining this end is described and exemplified by the actual weight chart in a typical case. 3.3. The advantages of a system whereby the cardiac patient is at all times assured of freedom from edema are emphasized. 4.4. No untoward reactions attributable to the frequent use of the mercurials were noted with this method, either in the urine or at postmortem examination.
