The results of previous efforts to analyse the irregular pulse have been here compiled along with more recent observations; at the same time it was found possible to make use of the latest results of physiological research in this analysis, to review the recent works on this subject and the various criticisms, and combine the whole array of facts into the compass of a single volume.The different forms of arhythmia are classified according to their origin into certain physiological types, and the various forms that have long been distinguished clinically are compared with these types. For the sake of clearness a preliminary chapter is given on the theory of the myogenic action of the heart on which the analysis that is given here depends.Before this work can be of any direct practical importance for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac disease, many questions of a physiological as well as a pharmacological nature will have to be solved. These questions are accordingly stated as plainly as possible, and given a prominent place in the book.
