γ-Aminobutyric Acid Is Synthesized and Released by the Endothelium: Potential Implications.

abstract：:This study investigations the phenomenon of sustained mechanical alternans (SMA) through the use of quantitative criteria. Discrete analysis is used to demonstrate that the hemodynamic variables during SMA are governed by a simple mathematical relation. The analysis shows that the value of the slope created by the two...
