| Abstract |
The author observed electrocardiographic changes and a disturbance in the phasing of cardiac contractions in 50 workers suffering from chronic poisoning by methyl mathacrylate (MM). These changes are attributed either to an indirect action of MM, or to toxic dystrophy of the myocardium caused by the latter. When exposure to MM ceases there is first a normalisation of the contraction phases, followed by a slow recovery of myocardial bioelectric activity. Suggestions for therapy. |
