Effect of atrial natriuretic peptide on left ventricular remodelling in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

abstract：:The concept of coronary vascular reserve stems from the description of coronary autoregulation by Mosher in 1964. Schematically, the coronary blood flow at rest depends on the determinants of myocardial oxygen demand (heart rate, contractility and ventricular load). If maximal coronary vasodilation is produced, it res...
