Popis: 1. 1. The theoretical basis is presented for the correlation, observed in the cat's heart, that the initial deflection of the extrasystolic wave, recorded with artificial stimulation upon a specific site, is in opposite phase to the RS-T change, recorded with cauterization of the same site. 2. 2. This correlation seems applicable to the human heart. It may explain the variations in the relationship of the RS-T displacement in the first and third leads. 3. 3. The usual characteristic T-wave of myocardial infarction is probably the result of a retardation of the process of retreat in the living muscle tissue with impaired circulation, lying in the zone between the actual nerosis and the normal heart muscle.
