Journal ArticleDOI

Personality Traits and Circadian Blood Pressure Patterns: A 7-Year Prospective Study

TL;DR: Evidence is found that reduced nighttime blood pressure dipping is associated with antagonism and impulsivity-related traits but not with measures of emotional vulnerability, and the strongest associations were found with conscientiousness, a trait that may have a broad impact on cardiovascular health.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Action of Halo thane on Spontaneous Contractile Waves and Stimulated Contractions in Isolated Rat and Dog Heart Cells

TL;DR: The findings regarding spontaneous contractile waves indicate a direct effect of halothane at the SR in resting cells, occurring independently of any changes in the slow inward current.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of U-50,488H on the contractile response of cardiomyopathic hamster ventricular myocytes.

TL;DR: The CM hamster does not demonstrate a different contractile response to U-50,488H, and the cardiomyopathic hamster myocytes, loaded with the Ca2+ indicator indo-1, have the same contractile properties as control cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ca2+-dependent components of inactivation of unitary cardiac L-type Ca2+ channels

TL;DR: This is the first study to characterize both the unitary kinetics and the stoichiometry of CDI of LCCs with a physiological Ca2+ concentration, which may provide a basis for understanding the mechanisms regulating unitary LCC gating, which is a pivotal element in the local control of Ca2-‐dependent signalling processes.
