hypertonic saline solution can absorb part of the intracellular fluid volume into the extracellular space. the effects of this solution on the cardiovascular system are increased coronary flow and increased left ventricular contraction, without sympathetic system activation. this study was designed to assess the effects of hypertonic saline solution in open heart surgery and to compare it with ...

Background: The cardiac effects simultaneously occurring during experimental hypertension and diabetes have rarely been investigated. This study aimed at examining the effects of short-term renovascular hypertension and type 2 diabetes on cardiac functions. Methods: Five groups (7 each) of male Sprague-Dawley rats, including a control group, a diabetes (induced by Streptozocin and Nicotinamide)...

Recognition of the natural history and responsible leading factors for regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after successful renal transplantation are very important. The aim of this study was to assess the regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after successful renal transplantation among uremic patients. In this study 27 uremic patients (18 males and 9 females) with an average a...

background: early diagnosis of left ventricular mass (lvm) inappropriateness and left ventricular hypertrophy   (lvh) can result in preventing diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and its related morbidity and mortality. this study was performed to determine if diastolic dysfunction   is associated with lvh and inappropriate lvm. methods: one hundred   and twenty five uncomplicated hypertensi...

the cardiac action of phenoxybenzamine (dibenzyline) was studiedusing the maximum rate of pressure rise in the left ventricle as a measure of myocardial contractility. cardiac function was assessed by increasing the pressure load on the heart and measuring contractility as reflected by dp/dt. dibenzyline was found to change the cardiac response to pressure load. the rate of pressure increase in...

background: although percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) is an excellent therapy for coronary artery disease, there is a paucity of information on the efficacy of pci in improving diastolic function, especially in iran. because of the high prevalence of left diastolic dysfunction in coronary artery disease patients and its probable progression to heart failure, an evaluation of the role of...
