Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Adherent Pericardium
The number of cases of adherent pericardium seen in the post-mortem room, and the comparatively few cases in which a diagnosis of this condition is made before death, make this subject worthy of special study and investigation. On consulting the post-mortem records of St. Mary's Hospital for the years 1890 - 93, I noted that, out of eighty-six cases in which death was attributable to heart disease, in no fewer than thirty-one was adherent pericardium found at the autopsy - in the majority of cases, viz. Twenty-one, as a complication of valvular disease. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
