چکیده

Abnormal foci in the auricles, from which the cardiac impulse may arise, beget various types of arrhythmia. Three main groups may be distinguished, namely, ectopic beats, auricular tachycardia (of slower or faster rate), and auricular fibrillation. Although the deranged auricular function is fundamentally similar in each variety, there are reasons for regarding the groups as separate nosological entities; the etiology, clinical presentation, prognosis, and response to treatment differ, justifying the preservation of this clinical classification. The benign nature of extrasystoles and of most instances of auricular tachycardia is known, and the more serious prognosis connected with some instances of auricular tachycardia and with auricular fibrillation is related to the underlying heart disease. The purpose of this paper is to describe a syndrome that was found in four patients all of whom exhibited an arrhythmia different in form and course from the common varieties. Having regard to the serious prognosis identified with this condition the term malignant auricular arrhythmia is proposed for it.

Mechanism of the Auricular Arrhythmias

The four auricular arrhythmias, premature systoles, paroxysmal tachycardia, flutter, and fibrillation, have been investigated in over 200 dogs by three methods: (1) high speed cinematography, (2) cathode-ray oscillography, and (3) multiple-channel electrocardiography. The hitherto unexplored body of the left auricle has been surgically exposed and thoroughly studied. Results indicate that all f...
