Liebermeister's rule
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liebermeister's rule concerns the increment ratio between and adult individual's cardiac frequency and temperature when in fever. Each Celsius grade of body temperature increment corresponds to an 8 beats per minute in cardiac frequency.[1][2] An exception to this rule by creating a relative bradycardia is known as Faget sign (pulse-temperature dissociation) common in some diseases, especially yellow fever and salmonella typhi.
It is named for Carl von Liebermeister.
