Objectives : The goal of this study was to compare myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) before
and after long-term treatment with lisinopril and losartan in patients with hypertension and …

OBJECTIVES The study was done to determine whether coronary steal (defined as an
absolute decrease in perfusion from resting blood flow) is induced by intravenous (IV) …

11 C-acetate has been used extensively for the noninvasive assessment of myocardial
oxygen consumption and viability with PET. The use of early uptake of acetate by the heart to …

Quantification of myocardial perfusion with 82 Rb has been difficult to achieve because of
the low signal-to-noise ratio of the dynamic data curves. This study evaluated the accuracy of …

Saline circulation forced by fresh water alone is studied for a broad region of parameter
space by varying the amplitude and profile of evaporation minus precipitation, the vertical and …

Background: It is not clearly understood why concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (increased
left ventricular mass and relative wall thickness) is associated with higher cardiovascular …

… In this introduction I have supplemented what I knew of Professor Chou with material from …
a biography which Pei-Yuan Chou himself edited. Bill Sears, RuLing Chou, and Akiva Yaglom …

Background: Cardiac gating is not routinely used in cardiac positron emission tomography (PET).
The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of assessing regional wall motion, …

BACKGROUND: This study examines the relationship between functional capacity, left
ventricular diastolic function, and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) in patients with left …

Publisher Summary This chapter examines the solitons induced by boundary conditions. In
water, solitary waves can be generated by three different methods, which include an initial …
