Role of myocardial interstitial edema in conduction disturbances in acute myocarditis.

abstract：:The hydrostatic pressure (perfusion pressure) of the isovolumic isolated perfused rat heart regulated the hydrodynamics (water movement) of the myocardium. An abrupt (10 s) decrease in hydrostatic pressure caused an immediate decrease in oxygen consumption, left ventricular developed pressure, and wall thickness. Wall...
