Role of mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase in nitroglycerin-induced vasodilation of coronary and systemic vessels: an intact canine model.

abstract：:We studied the inferior vena cava (IVC) as an index of right-heart function in 111 patients. A two-dimensional echocardiographic sector was used to visualize the IVC, and its M-mode cursor was used to generate a time-motion record of the IVC size and pulsation. Normal subjects had a small presystolic A wave (less than...
