The “effective refractory period” of ventricular muscle which is (1) hypertrophied and dilated, (2) hypertrophied, (3) has returned to normal after being hypertrophied and dilated, is within normal limits. I wish to express my thanks to Mr. J. A. F. Fozzard, of the Department of Anatomy, for carrying out the X‐ray work.
