ABSTRACT
A case is described in which A-V nodal dysfunction in the form of the Wenckebach phenomenon occurred in a patient suffering from secondary syphilis. It was associated with a slight degree of cardiac enlargement. The patient presented with palpitations which resolved with antisyphilitic therapy, but the cardiac enlargement persisted. Electrocardiograms carried out on a further 49 consecutive patients with secondary syphilis showed no evidence of A-V nodal conduction defect. Abnormal eletrocardiograms were found in eight (16 per cent.) of the series, and in three (6 per cent.) the abnormality consisted of ST segment and T wave changes (AU)
