The "end-systolic" length-tension relation in mammalian myocardium.

abstract：AIMS:A delayed myocardial protection extends between 24 and 96 h after ischemic preconditioning in animals. To test for this phenomenon in humans, subjects with stable angina were subjected to exercise test-induced myocardial ischemia and the effect of this "preconditioning" ischemic insult on the exercise-induced myoc...
