Das Elektrokardiogramm des gesunden and kranken Menschen

Abstract

THE electrical phenomena of the living heart has been a fascinating study among physiologists since the early days of electro physiology; information has been gathered with greater and greater accuracy as apparatus and methods of investigation became more and more refined, and now the registration of the electrical changes in the heart may be, and is, practically employed in the diagnosis of heart affections in the wards of the hospital. A full discussion of the origin and progress of method in this direction is given in this book, which has been produced by authors well acquainted practically with all the details of this branch of physiological and clinical inquiry. The progress of research is strikingly shown in a bibliography at the beginning of the work containing a list of 243 papers on the subject, of which no fewer than 131 have appeared since the beginning of 1900.
