Chininum sulph: Extreme praecordial anxiety. This evening, at 6 o’ clock, a nap, with hands joined over top of head, lying on back; was awakened at 6.45; the heart beat with abnormal impulse, felt through most of chest (and too frequently); better by lying still a while, then stirring about moderately.

Happening to get on the left side, my attention was, for the first time, directed to the tumultuous action of the heart, which compelled me to turn on the back again, to escape the strange sensation. Heart’s action irregular; intermissions every third, fourth or fifth beat. The heart and pulse extremely feeble and tumultuously irregular. Pulse of the right side nearly double the strength of that of the left.
Phytolacca: Small, irregular, with great excitement in the chest, especially in the cardiac region; full, but soft.
Pilocarpinum: Weakness of the heart. The pulse-curve at first exhibits an increased systolic elevation, a more abrupt curve, a more sudden downfall, and a very decided recurrent elevation; the artery is filled rapidly and violently and collapses suddenly; symptoms of relaxed tone of the vessels and accelerated heart’s action; the character of the pulse-curve is most pronounced after ten or fifteen minutes; it gradually returns to the normal. Diminution of the arterial tension a few minutes after the injection, even before perspiration. After the perspiration the pulse falls and gradually sinks to the normal.

Tabacum: Aching pain in the cardiac region, generally worse at night, with frequent intermissions of the pulse and of the heart’s action. Both sounds of the heart clear, but the action was relaxed and occasionally intermittent. The heart-sounds were muffled and seemed to almost run into each other. Systolic murmur in aortic area and in course of large vessels. On applying the hand over the cardiac region, the impulse conveyed to it was of marked peculiarity, much resembling, as was conceived at the time, the purring tremor, or fremissement cataire of French writers, which is likely to accompany aortic regurgitation. Sounds of the heart inaudible, and its movements scarcely felt. Strong pulsation of the temporal arteries. Heart beat so violently he was compelled to give up active exercise. Heart beat irregularly, with a slight anaemic murmur. Heart’s action very feeble. Violent pulse. Pulse soft, full and feeble. (Allen). Imperceptible, small, intermittent (Hering).
