Seven cases of cardiomyopathy are presented with detailed macroscopical and microscopical studies. There are some differences and also similarities between this group and those described by Davies from Uganda. Myocytolysis was present in all cases, and appeared earlier than endocarditis. The earliest endocardial lesion was smooth muscle hyperplasia. Feeding of monkeys with plantains for more than 8 months failed to produce any changes in the heart.

本文报告了7例心肌病患者，并进行了详细的大体和显微镜检查。该组病例与乌干达的戴维斯所描述的病例之间存在一些差异和相似之处。所有病例均出现了心肌溶解，且比心内膜炎出现得更早。最早的心内膜病变是平滑肌增生。用芭蕉喂养猴子超过8个月未能引起心脏的任何变化。
