Hierarchy of levels of ischemia-induced impairment in regional left ventricular systolic function in man.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Aortopulmonary collaterals (APC) have been associated with an increased risk of choreoathetosis after deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA). To study the effects of APC on cerebral hemodynamics and metabolism before and after DHCA, a piglet model was developed. METHODS AND RESULTS:Protocol 1: Eight 4- ...
