The heart is uniquely responsible for providing its own blood supply through the coronary
circulation. Regulation of coronary blood flow is quite complex and, after over 100 years of …

The cardiac muscle and the coronary vasculature are in close proximity to each other, and a
two-way interaction, called cross-talk, exists. Here we focus on the mechanical aspects of …

How is the heartbeat generated? What controls the strength of contraction of heart muscle?
What are the links between cardiac structure and function? How does our understanding of …

В книге рассмотрены современные патогенные, патофизиологические, клинические,
инструментальные и терапевтические аспекты атеросклеротического повреждения …

Background—Fractional flow reserve (FFR), an index of the hemodynamic severity of
coronary stenoses, is derived from invasive measurements and requires a pressure …

Background—Ischemia occurs frequently in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) without
evidence of epicardial stenosis. This study evaluates the hypothesis that the occurrence of …

This is a third part of tripartite morphometric data of the pig coronary blood vessels, giving a
complete quantitative description of the arterial tree [Kassab et al., Am. J. Physiol. 265 (Heart …

The fields of biological and medical physics and biomedical engineering are broad,
multidisciplinary and dyanmic. They lie at the crossroads of frontier-search in physics …

Objectives: We sought to examine the relationship between coronary flow reserve (CFR)
and myocardial capillary density (MCD) in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy …

Background Absolute hyperaemic coronary blood flow (Q, in mL/min) and resistance (R, in
Wood units [WU]) can be measured invasively by continuous thermodilution. Aims The aim …
