Discussing "Bedside Recogni-tion

beat, pauses, rapid or slow heart
beats, according to the doctor.
"Inspection of the pulsation of
the neck veins give a clue as to
when the upper chamber of the
heart is contracting," he added.
"Other signs are changes in the
sound of the heart beat."

Addressing the physicians on
"The Normal E l e c t r o c a r -
