The coronary arteries and left ventricle in clinically isolated angina pectoris: a necropsy analysis.

abstract：:Systolic time intervals, stroke volume, cardiac output and (dZ/dt)/RZ index were serially estimated in 51 normal healthy volunteers at sea level, for ten days after air induction to 3658 m altitude and on return to sea level. The subjects were divided into three groups and were administered a diuretic, beta methyldigo...
