## Abstract Pulmonary arterial endβdiastolic and mean right atrial pressures were compared in 25 patients with acute myocardial infarction and in one patient with unstable angina. No consistent relationship was observed between these pressures. Simultaneous ventricular function curves relating the
## Background: Flattening of the interventricular septum (d-shaped left ventricle) detected during echocardiographic examination is correlated with significant right ventricular (rv) overload. there are no reports of this finding with cardiac gated single photon emission computed tomography (spect)
Regional pressure-flow relationships within the right coronary artery (RCA) circulation of swine were determined. Enflurane-anaesthetized swine (n = 7) were studied during step-wise reductions of RCA perfusion pressure using an extracorporeal circuit. Regional blood flow was measured using microsphe
