Smithconcluded that two factors are necessary for the production ofthe abnormal electrocardiogram, lesions of the conduction systemand cardiac fatigue. Wilson and Herrmann, in a recent publica-tion, state that complete bundle branch block is capable of pro-ducing characteristic Q R S changes, but they do not believe thatlesions of the bundle subdivisions are capable of producing suchchanges. Notwithstanding the variance of views with regard to themode of production of the abnormal QRS complexes, these electro-cardiograms, when all derivations are involved, are indisputablylinked with a clear-cut clinical picture. Patients having this dis-order have marked myocardial disintegration, a
