What adds to the importance of this form is not only its relative benignity but also its relative frequency. It occurred in our material as the second commonest form of conductive disturbance affecting the ventricular complex. The authenticity of its frequent occurrence can be corroborated simply by examining the electrocardiograms which have been reproduced from time to time in reports on bundle branch block already in the literature in which it will be seen repeatedly grouped along with the conventional forms of bundle branch lesions (usually the conventional type of right bundle branch block).
