Polythelia associated with disturbances of cardiac conduction.
The authors examined three groups of persons (hospitalized patients, outpatients, and school girls) and conclude that in the cases of polythelia the cardiac conduction disturbances occur considerably more frequently than in persons without polythelia. When polythelia and conduction disturbances occur frequently in a family, the coexistence of both disorders is most probably of hereditary origin.
