Escape beats recorded in clinical electrocardiograms sometimes differ in contour and QRS duration from conducted beats, and this in spite of their having a relatively short cycle length. This suggests a location of the subsidiary pacemaker above the bifurcation of the common A-V bundle. While this, unlike other types of aberrant ventricular conduction, cannot be explained on a functional basis,...

This paper describes a rare case in which the left subclavian artery originates from a common stem arising from the aortic arch and splits into a brachiocephalic trunk and a left subclavian artery. The course of other large vessels of the aortic arch in this case are typical.

I would like to make one comment regarding the paper entitled 'Aberrant Atrial Conduction' from the British Heart journal of April I972, by Edward K. Chung. In all of his examples of socalled aberrant atrial conduction he makes an assumption that the aberrant atrial impulse originates from the sinus. I am unable to ascertain from his article how he came to this conclusion. Most of his examples ...
