TL;DR: A study of intracardiac and intravascular temperatures was undertaken with the thought that such measurements might provide further information concerning the mechanisms which normally maintain body temperature within its narrow limits and also that they might help to explain the deviations from normal temperature in certain disease states.

TL;DR: Previously unreported large positive QRS deflections were found in records from the lower part of the right atrium, from the pulmonary artery, and in two instances from within the right ventricle itself close to the base.

TL;DR: The data characterize the impairment in these functions in asymptomatic subjects and indicate the further changes over the course of several years in the same subject, the deleterious effects associated with congestive heart failure, and the changes toward normal induced by isopropylnorepinephrine.

TL;DR: The non-xanthine-containing mercurial diuretic mercaptomerin (Thiomerin), a noncardiotonic agent, was given repeatedly to 14 patients with congestive heart failure until all edema fluid had been eliminated, resulting in relief of subjective symptoms and removal of the characteristic physical signs of circulatory congestion.

TL;DR: That these assumptions are not necessarily valid is indicated by the herein reported simultaneous measurements of cardiovascular dynamics, renal functions, blood volumes and electrolyte excretions in eight patients during cardiac decompensation and after recovery of compensation.
