The records of 9,950 private patients were reviewed to determine the incidence of supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia. The relationship of the tachycardia to the various types of heart disease was determined. The incidence of tachycardia in normal persons and in patients with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism was also studied.
