In order to embolize the coronary arteries a closed-chest technique was employed using
fluoroscopically-positioned catheters introduced selectively into the coronary arteries. Plugs …

Well‐characterized in vivo and in vitro models exist for the study of ischaemia‐and infarction‐
related ventricular fibrillation (VF). In rats in vivo, VF appears to occur in distinct acute …

In order to detect impaired left ventricular (LV) function in coronary artery disease (CAD)
patients using acceleration index (Ac) of impedance cardiography (ICG), exercise ICG was …

Isolated rat hearts were used to examine whether reperfusion-induced arrhythmias may be
caused by washout of substances accumulating during ischemia. This was achieved by …

C ONGESTIVE HEART failure is the state in which the heart's capacity to deliver blood is
inadequate for the body's needs or demands. The manifestations of heart failure depend on …

Hemodynamic studies were done in 36 patients with acute myocardial infarction during the
first 24 hours. They were repeated in 19 patients on the following days. The following results …

Biplane cineangiography was used to study the effects of an acute reversible circumflex
artery occlusion by an implanted exteriorized polyethylene snare in the intact anesthetized …

In previous work, we postulated that mean aortic flow velocity (MAFV) might be a direct
measure of cardiac index. To investigate the assumptions inherent in this relation, we …

The following left ventricular (LV) dimensions were followed in 43 dogs during varying
experimental conditions: circumference, opicardial segment lengths, myocardial longitudinal …

In dogs with prior occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery, the effects of
occluding or constricting the circumflex coronary artery utilizing implanted balloon cuffs were …
