Excerpt from Diseases of the Heart: A Clinical Text-Book for the Use of Students and Practitionres of Medicine
I Have taken advantage of the opportunity afforded by the demand for a Second Edition of "Diseases of the Heart" to make a few corrections in the text, and to add a little new matter, without in any way interfering with the general arrangement and character of the work.
A short account has been given of mechanical strain of the heart, and of the Stokes-Adams" syndrome; and the description of the treatment of chronic valvular disease has been somewhat amplified.
The instrumental determination of blood pressure which seems likely to occupy a prominent place in the clinical investigation of cardio-vascular disease has received but scant consideration; but in the present state of our knowledge it appeared hardly profitable to enter into a detailed description of this method of procedure.
The remaining additions that have been made do not call for comment, but it is hoped that they may enhance whatever usefulness the work may possess as a clinical guide to diseases of the heart.
