Quantitative assessment of regional left ventricular function by densitometric analysis of digital-subtraction ventriculograms: correlation with myocardial systolic shortening in dogs.

abstract：:While the steady-state effects of positive pleural pressure on the circulation have been extensively studied, less is known about the immediate effects of positive intrathoracic pressure on cardiac dynamics. Therefore, we performed electrocardiographically gated radionuclide ventriculography with a respiratory gating ...
