Excerpt from The Nervous Heart: Its Nature, Causation, Prognosis and Treatment This book is an attempt to view the problems of Heart Disease, and especially functional heart disease, from a new angle - that of the Nervous System. There is no idea of opposing the views currently held regarding the efficiency of the myocardium and its bearing upon heart failure. But we venture to suggest that if a profound disturbance of the nervous control of the heart exists, the heart muscle will, on this account, work at a disadvantage. Its position will correspond to that of a motor engine when the controls and timing are out of order. The engine will not be able to develop its powers, and great strain will be put upon it. With this explanation we offer our researches to the reader. We are very conscious of their many failings, and above all things we desire that we should not display a dogmatic spirit regarding them.
