TL;DR: Vasorelaxant potency (expressed as 1/EC50) was strongly correlated with the quantity of .NO calculated from the physicochemical data to be released in the interval required to achieve maximum relaxation at the EC50 doses, suggesting that such nucleophile/.NO adducts might generally be useful as vehicles for the nonenzymatic generation of nitric oxide, in predictable amounts and at predictable rates, for biological purposes.

TL;DR: The presence of intracoronary thrombus identifies a group of patients who are at increased risk of developing complete occlusion during or after attempted coronary artery dilation.

TL;DR: Patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty between 1979 and 1982 had a higher incidence of angina or need for bypass surgery in the latter group than in the former group; those with incomplete revascularization also had a significantly reduced event-free survival.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the diastolic and developed pressure-volume relationships of either ventricle can be acutely altered by varying the volume of the other ventricles.

TL;DR: It is concluded that in selected patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease and recent coronary artery occlusion without associated acute myocardial infarction, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty alone may be effective in restoring patency.
