[Electrokymographic diagnosis of myocardial infarct]

Thirty six patients with myocardial infarction were examined electrokymographically. The parodoxical movements with diastolic collapse, established in 25 of the patients, might be pointed as important features as well as symptomes that aid the diagnostics, being without a pathognomonic significance--considerable decrease of the curve amplitude without or with parodoxical movements and considerable elongation of the latent time in 8 patient. The electrokymographic curve, though rarely, is more indicative than the electrocardiogram. The electrokymographic method surpasses in every respect the diagnostic potentialities of the kymography.
