Four cases had a diag-nosis of myocarditis and three of pericarditis. Re-moval of the causative foci of infection preventedfurther damage to the heart in valvular cases andgeneral medical measures were adopted to favorcompensation. Cardiac lesions have already been referred to;and Figures 33a, 33b and 33c are of a ease inwhich they are the most important result of dentalinfection. The patient has a mitral murmur, mit-ral regurgitation with some compensatory en-largement of the heart, but no edema of the ex-tre
