The effects of four different K+ concentrations (2, 4, 6 or 8 mm) on arrhythmias resulting from
ischaemia, and from reperfusion (after 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 or 30 min of ischaemia), in isolated …

Abstract Objective: Transoesophageal Doppler (TOD) has been used in adults to optimise
left ventricular filling on the basis of the waveform parameters. We wished to see if a similar …

Ventricular fibrillation (VF), a cause of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the setting of acute
myocardial infarction (MI), remains a major therapeutic challenge. In humans, VF may occur …

Doppler echocardiographic measurements of blood flow velocity and acceleration in the
ascending aorta have been shown to be useful descriptors of left ventricular (LV) systolic …

To evaluate changes in left ventricular (LV) function after myocardial infarction (MI),
anesthetized closed-chest dogs were studied following survival from acute nonmassive MI …

The time-motion representation of the echogram was used to evaluate the left ventricular
posterior wall motion in myocardial infarction. The left ventricular posterior wall echo was …
