These findings indicate that repetitive low-energy electrical shocks do not accentuate postischemic systolic dysfunction in the isolated fibrillating rat heart but adversely affect postischemic diastolic dysfunction by reducing the unstressed left ventricular end-diastolic volume.
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.
