Force-frequency relations in nonfailing and failing animal myocardium.

abstract：:Rat hearts were exposed and injured locally by direct cryoapplication. The hearts were examined 2, 4, 20 and 48 hours, 7 and 12 days later. In the first 48 hours mast cell and polymorphonuclear (mainly eosinophilic) granulocyte infiltration was followed by proliferation of mononuclear phagocytic and fibroblastic cells...
