Cases of the Morgagni-Adams-Stokes symptom complex are of interest in three respects: firstly, this disease is far from common and has not yet been sufficiently studied (for example, over the past 10 years, the Faculty Therapeutic Clinic of Kazan University had only three cases of this disease); secondly, sometimes, as was the case in our case, patients with this disease present very interesting phenomena from the heart, found during auscultation of the heart, especially direct, that is, auscultation with the ear without a stethoscope; thirdly, finally, the cases of the Morgagni-Adams-Stokes'a symptom complex are interesting because of the instructive picture given by the latest research methods used in cardiology in this disease, namely, sphygmophlebography and especially electrocardio diagnostics. The latter, in cases of the cardiogenic type of the named disease, makes it possible to make a very accurate anatomical diagnosis with confidence.
