ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC STUDY OF TYPHOID MYOCARDITIS

Abstract

Circulatory failure of every kind has, of course, a serious influence on the action of the heart itself, and for this reason in infectious diseases it was considered in those early days (1860-95) as heart failure, and the anatomical damage of the myocardium was much investigated, especially by French authors.
