Spectral energy of the first heart sound in acute myocardial ischemia. A correlation with electrocardiographic, hemodynamic, and wall motion abnormalities.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cystic medial degeneration (CMD) is a histological abnormality that is common in the aortic diseases associated with Marfan's syndrome (MFS). Although little known about the mechanism underlying CMD, several recent reports have demonstrated that vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) apoptosis could play a subst...
