[Autogenic training and ECG. Apropos of a clinical case]

A case of tachycardia in an infarctophobic subject treated with autogenous training which completely cleared up the condition over one year is reported. The patient had been subject to attacks of tachycardia lasting for more than 15' for more than 10 years and was recalcitrant to all pharmacological therapy. Schultz' standard autogenous training produced a marked improvement in the ECG, with different behaviour of the ST segment and the QX/QT ratio under the same conditions of heart frequency and arterial pressure.
