| Popis: | A case of rheumatic carditis has been studied in detail. The occurrence of heart-block has been demonstrated. This was scarcely suspected in a clinical examination. A slow pulse rate in the presence of a grave general condition was all that could suggest a heart-block. Electrocardiographical examinations revealed the true nature of the case. This sign should in any case be borne in mind in cases of rheumatic infection. A close follow-up of the case in all details shows that the block may be essentially a feature of rheumatic infection. Therapeutic measures to control the block and the progress of the disease have been depicted in charts and curves. The importance and value of adjuvant treatment of the associated blood condition with liver extract preparation has been pointed out. |
