Abstract
1. (1) A case is presented of Adams-Stokes disease with ventricular standstill treated with the external artificial cardiac pacemaker for five consecutive days continuously with complete recovery. 2. (2) The hazard of producing serious ventricular ectopic rhythms with the sympathomimetic drugs in complete heart block is discussed. 3. (3) Atropine appeared to trigger the onset of spontaneous ventricular activity. 4. (4) No serious cardiac sequelae resulted from the use of the artificial cardiac pacemaker. Minor reactions consisting of superficial skin ulcerations beneath the chest electrodes and a generalized muscular contraction were encountered. 5.
