Abstract

Two cases of partial heart block with dropped beats are described. They present the unusual feature that auricular impulses occurring at a certain early phase of diastole were conducted faster than those which occurred later in diastole. Those auricular impulses which were blocked occurred late in diastole and, within certain explicable limits, later than the conducted impulses. This phenomenon is explained by assuming a supernormal phase of recovery.
