To define the relationship between infarct size and ventricular performance, we performed
hemodynamic studies in rats 21 days after left coronary artery occlusion. Ventricular …

Pairs of ultrasonic dimension gauges and a micromanometer implanted in the
subendocardium of the left ventricles of unanesthetized dogs were used to analyze serial …

For determination of the effects of myocardial infarction on the recovery potential of muscle
mass in the surviving tissue, ligation of the left coronary artery was performed in 3-month-old …

To determine the effects of healed myocardial infarction on the diastolic compliance of the
left ventricle, we studied 36 rats 26 days after left coronary artery ligation. Peak cardiac …

To determine the compensatory reserve capacity of the ventricular myocardium following
infarction, the left coronary artery in rats was ligated, and the animals were killed 40 days …

Increased ventricular volume is one of the most powerful predictors of reduced survival in
patients with heart disease. Despite its well-documented prognostic significance, the …

Impaired coronary reserve in animals and patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)
might be expected to augment infarct size following coronary occlusion (CO). To test this …

In 42 male Sprague-Dawley rats, the distribution of coronary arteries, the geometry of
myocardial infarcts (MIs) and the involvement of the left ventricular papillary and trabecular …

Compliance of the infarcted left ventricle was studied in dogs 3-5 days after occlusion of the
left anterior descending coronary artery. Compliance was assessed from postmortem …

Disorders of contractile function constitute one of the earliest events to follow acute coronary
occlusion, and occur in the central ischemic region within approximately 10 seconds …
