Title: The importance of right axis deviation in the diagnosis of pulmonary stenosis
Abstract: A case of acute bacterial endocarditis complicating a congenital defect in the interventricular septum is reported. The physical findings of pulmonary stenosis were explained at autopsy by a mass of vegetations which almost completely filled the pulmonary valve orifice but which arose from the margins of the interventricular septal defect. The inaccuracy of a diagnosis of congenital pulmonary stenosis in the absence of right axis deviation in the electrocardiogram is illustrated by this case.
