چکیده

The effects of a 4-min exercise on the duration of the systolic time intervals were determined in 20 patients with angina and 20 age-matched normal controls. The preejection period was shortened 26 msec in normal subjects and 35 msec in angina patients. In normal subjects, total electromechanical systole corrected for heart rate (Q2.) decreased 24 msec, while the left ventricular ejection time corrected for heart rate (LVETC) remained unchanged. In the angina group, by contrast, Q20 failed to change, while LVETC lengthened 23 msec. The angina patients developed similar abnormalities, without pain, after 2 min of exercise. Changes in arterial pressure, cardiac output, and stroke volume failed to explain these systolic temporal abnormalities. Similar abnormalities occurred in 12 patients with primary myocardial disease and heart failure, but not in seven noncardiac patients with nonanginal chest pain. Owing to impaired left ventricular performance and increased afterload, mild exercise prolongs left ventricular ejection in patients with angina. This abnormal prolongation contributes to the development of angina and has value in its diagnosis.

Involvement of the 5-HT1A receptor of the cuneiform nucleus in the regulation of cardiovascular responses during normal and hemorrhagic conditions

Objective(s): The 5-hydroxytryptamine1A (5-HT1A) receptor is one of the serotonin receptors in the brain, which regulates cardiovascular responses, especially in hemorrhage. Presence of this receptor in the cuneiform nucleus (CnF) has been shown. The present study evaluates the cardiovascular effect of this receptor of the CnF in normal and hypotensive hemorrhagic rats...

The role of oral dipyridamole stress gated SPECT in assessing the response of the left ventricle to stress: Re-evaluation of an old method

Introduction: We aimed to assess whether the vasodilator effect of oral dipyridamole on the left ventricular systolic function in patients with suspected CAD is different from that of intravenous (IV) dipyridamole using Tc-99m MIBI myocardial perfusion gated SPECT. Methods: Eighty-nine patients (17 M / 72 W; 61 ± 10 years) were enrolled in this study. The patients underwent a dipyridamole stre...

Background and purpose: Doppler sonography is a noninvasive diagnostic procedure with no side effect witch is cost effective and the results are rapidly available. Two indices are explained in the field of Doppler sonographic hemodynamic evaluation, PÏ* and RÏ**, Âbnormal ranges are PÏ ≥ 1.8 and RÏ ≥ 0.7 . Ïn previous studies average PÏ in normal conditions was 1.5 and in rejected trans...
