This article reviews diastolic and systolic ventricular interaction, and clinical pathophysiological
conditions involving ventricular interaction. Diastolic ventricular interdependence is …

The muscle mass of the right ventricle is approximately one-sixth that of the left ventricle,
forming a crescent-shaped chamber comprising a sinus (body) and outflow tract in contrast to …

To evaluate instantaneous right ventricular pressure-volume relations we studied nine
patients with normal coronary anatomy and ventricular function with simultaneous high fidelity …

Observational studies indicate a significant relation between dietary sodium and level of blood
pressure. However, the role of salt sensitivity in the development of resistant hypertension …

Aims Non-potassium-sparing diuretics are commonly used in heart failure (HF). They
activate the neurohormonal system, and are potentially harmful. Yet, the long-term effects of …

Slow flow of dye in epicardial coronary arteries is not an infrequent finding in patients during
routine coronary angiography. Whether this pattern of flow can be reversed by nitroglycerin …

Objective. —To investigate the natural history and response to treatment of patients with
unstable angina or non—Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI). Design. —Inception cohort. Setting. …

Background— Studies of the effect of right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) on outcomes
in heart failure (HF) are limited by small sample size and short follow-up. Methods and …

J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich). Among patients with resistant hypertension (RHTN), there are
those whose blood pressure (BP) remains uncontrolled in spite of maximal medical therapy…

The current study examined the contributions of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) vs.
chymase to angiotensin II (ANG II) generation in membrane preparations from left ventricles of …
