Effect of increases in afterload before and after coronary occlusion in awake dogs.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Elevated systemic arterial blood pressure is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis. It has been suggested that both circulating and local myocardial renin-angiotensin systems play a role in mediating these responses. Here we describe the natural history of ventricular hypertrophy and fibr...
