Increased release of NO during ischemia reduces myocardial contractility and improves metabolic dysfunction.

abstract：:The purpose of this study was to develop a clinically applicable system for quantifying premortem myocardial area at risk. Coronary artery occlusion was performed in 18 closed-chest dogs (11 left anterior descending and seven circumflex). 99mTc (15 mCi)-labeled macroaggregated albumin was then injected through an angi...
