TL;DR: It was suggested that determination of relations between tension and the velocity of shortening in the intact left ventricle of the dog expands traditional definitions of ventricular performance, and that estimation of changes in maximum velocity as well as maximum strength relative to muscle length provides direct information concerning alterations in the contractile state of the intact heart.

TL;DR: TISSUE plasminogen activator (t-PA) is a naturally occurring protein that catalyzes the conversion of the inactive proenzyme plAsminogen into the active serine protease plasmine.

TL;DR: The effects of rotation of the heart in the sagittal plane during the cardiac and respiratory cycles were determined precisely and indicated that an increase in myocardial contractility occurs during muscular exercise in man.

TL;DR: Transient stress test-induced myocardial ischaemia is associated with a quantifiable increase in circulating troponin that is detectable with a novel, ultrasensitive TnI assay.

TL;DR: Hirudin reduces reocclusion compared to heparin following thrombolysis in acute myocardial infarction: results of the TIMI-5 trial.
