Abstract:The pressure-velocity and pressure-volume relationships were determined in the isolated rabbit left ventricle in order to evaluate ventricular function during global Ischemia (low pressure perfusion) and under reperfusion after a 10 min complete coronary occlusion (reperfusion after coronary occlusion). Reducing coronary perfusion pressure, the maximum isovolumic pressure (F0) decreased, but the maximum ejection velocity ( Vmag) did not. The slope of the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship (Emax) decreas… Show more
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.
