Abstract
- The coupling of the heart beats in digitalis intoxication may be used to demonstrate the expansile nature of the hepatic pulsation of tricuspid incompetence, since ventricular extrasystoles produce pulsations of the liver without corresponding arterial pulsation, with the result that two hepatic pulsations may be felt for each arterial pulsation.
