The technic of endocardial electrocardiography has been useful in applying certain basic concepts to the interpretation of an electrocardiogram. One of the earliest intra-auricular records, obtained in 1944, is here analyzed in detail. It led to a reaffirmation of the dipole concept of cardiac excitation. A number of selected auricular electrocardiograms recorded by simultaneous tracings from the chestwall and the esophagus demonstrate the direct clinical usefulness of the theoretic postulates.
