The relatively recent popularization of chest leads, plus the small number of cases seen by any one person, probably accounts for these facts.In a recent study of 22 autopsied cases of ventricular aneurysm at the San Francisco Hospital, I became interested in the electrocardiographic changes as an aid in the diagnosis of this condition. These findings, plus those of certain other authors, form the basis of this report.I have analyzed nine...Bibliography1.
