The sub-human primate baboon (Papio ursinus) was subjected to cardiac catheterisation studies and pathologic injection techniques with a view to establishing baseline values pertaining to coronary artery morphology, coronary blood flow and myocardial energetics and metabolism. The similarities to the human situation (and minor differences) are considered in the light of possible extrapolation to clinical conditions in contemplated future experimental studies of myocardial physiology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
