Electrocardiography of 10000 Patients at the Massachusetts General Hospital from 1914 to 1931

Professor S amojlow’s keen interest in electrocardiography and his contributions in this field have made us feel that he would have been pleased to have a record of our own practical experience in the use of the electrocardiograph in the Cardiac Clinic at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Hence we are sending herewith in memory of Professor Samojlow a survey of our electrocardiographic findings during the last 16 years (1914—1931) ever since the installation of Einthoven’s string galvanometer in our laboratory. On several occasions during the past few years Professor Samojlow himself has visited this laboratory and has shown an interest in our records. We realize that in his death we have lost a personal friend and a helpful as sociate.
