Excerpt from Diseases of the Heart, Their Diagnosis, Prognosis, and Treatment by Modern Methods: With a Chapter on the Electrocardiograph The object of this book is to present, in as concise a form as possible, information which will be of service in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of diseases of the heart by modern methods. I have dealt with the subject from the point of view of the clinician, and have carefully avoided matter of merely theoretical interest. It is generally recognised that within recent years there has been a great advance in our knowledge of cardiac disorders, and this advance has been of so practical a character and of such vital importance in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of these diseases, that it is the duty of every clinician to make himself acquainted with its nature and scope. Many of the problems in the study of diseases of the heart which have baffled clinicians for generations have been practically solved, while others are in process of solution. This progress has been mainly due to the introduction of what are called graphic methods in the examination of the cardiac mechanism. By means of the clinical polygraph and the electro-cardiograph we are now able to analyse the cardiac action in a manner which was never possible before. The expert knowledge and use of these instruments, however, arc for practical purposes frequently not necessary, for, while it is true that most of our recent knowledge in the domain of cardiac disorders has been gained by means of them, all that is necessary in a large proportion of cases is the use of a Dudgeon's sphygmograph.
