Left Ventricular Muscle Mass and Chamber Volume in Dilative Cardiomyopathy — an Angiocardiographic Study
Dilative or congestive cardiomyopathy is characterized by dilatation or “excentric hypertrophy” of the right and/or the left ventricular chamber. Dilatation is brought about through structural rearrangement of...

Influence of phosphodiesterase inhibition on myocardial energetics in dilative cardiomyopathy
The effects of inhibition of phosphodiesterase by enoximone on left ventricular haemodynamics and myocardial energetics were investigated in 10 patients with idiopathic dilative cardiomyopathy. After intraveno...

Optimal biplane imaging of coronary segments with computed triple orthogonal projections
A new method for improved imaging of coronary segments with exact triple orthogonal projections was developed. By means of this method, the two X-ray gantries of a biplane mutidirectional unit can be readjuste...
