1. A relay telemetric system has been developed for constant monitornig of the electrocardiogram of patients with acute myocardial infarction.

2. Forty-four patients have been monitored for the first 72 hours in the hospital. Arrhythmias occurred in 96 per cent including a particularly high incidence of ventricular tachycardia.
