Continuing his researches, he studied the effect of constriction of a lower limb upon the abdominal and in particular the renal vessels. In order to ensure meticulous accuracy he gat...

T HE GROWING BODY of research into the ultrastructure of the myocardial cell and the function of subcellular systems in the heart has reached proportions that make it both useful and pertinent to bring important new concepts in this area to the attention of the clinical cardiologist. Work on myocardial ultrastructure is no longer the province of the cellular anatomist and physiologist; increasi...
