Coronary artery surgery study (CASS): a randomized trial of coronary bypass surgery. Eight years follow-up and survival in patients with reduced ejection fraction.

abstract：:Acute intravenous administration of the new beta 1-adrenergic receptor partial agonist xamoterol lowers left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and improves the isovolumic indexes of inotropic state and relaxation. To determine if these hemodynamic changes were maintained after prolonged administration, the dose-respo...
