TL;DR: This report confirms the widely held impression that CABG reduces the incidence and severity of angina, but finds no difference in the survival of almost 600 patients with chronic stable angina randomized into medically and surgically treated groups.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that decreased myocardial contractility in experimental heart failure is not due to an intrinsic defect in mitochondrial function.

TL;DR: Tension development, contractile state of the myocardium, and heart rate are the most important factors influencing cardiac oxygen consumption, and drugs commonly used in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction appear to influence oxygen consumption by acting upon these three determinants.

TL;DR: Non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and NSTE-MI, which comprises unstable angina and non- ST-se segment elevation myocardial infarction, accounted for approximately 1.7 million discharges from U.S. hospitals in 2002.

TL;DR: Left atrial pressures were determined by transbronchial puncture in 53 patients with mitral valve disease of proved type, and were analyzed by several methods, finding the rate of the y descent divided by the mean left atrial pressure afforded the best separation of the patients with Mitral insufficiency from those withMitral stenosis requiring a commissurotomy.
