Journal Article

Characterization of myocardial infarcts in the rat.

TL;DR: In 42 male Sprague-Dawley rats, the distribution of coronary arteries, the geometry of myocardial infarcts (MIs) and the involvement of the left ventricular papillary and trabecular muscles, after left coronary occlusion, were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of SHR hypertension and cardiac hypertrophy during prolonged beta blockade.

TL;DR: Administration of the beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agents, propranolol or timolol, from conception through the developmental stage of SHR hypertension, failed to alter either the progressive rise in arterial pressure or the development of hypertensive vascular disease and left ventricular hypertrophy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Augmentation index and central aortic stiffness in middle-aged to elderly individuals

TL;DR: Increased AI is not a reliable surrogate for increased aortic stiffness and may be attributable to impedance matching and reduced wave reflection at the interface between the aorta and the muscular arteries.
