Diagnostic Tests. Many different diagnostic procedures are available for the examination of the heart. Along with a history and physical examination, an electrocardiogram (ECG) is routinely obtained. It shows a tracing of the electrical excitation that spreads through the heart during each beat. It ...
Our GWAS for heart shape has provided several interesting candidate genes at signals for PCs 1 and 5 which are not reported for other CV traits. For PC1, signals were found nearVEGFAandVEGFB, two members of the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family, which induce proliferation and migration of vasc...
An understanding of ventricular function tests requires some knowledge of the underlying concepts of myocardial contraction and chamber shortening, including: (1) inotropic state prior to the influence of ventricular loading; (2) ventricular preload (related to filling volume); (3) ventricular afterload...

Three independent tests were repeated with similar results. Characterization of the nitrate-functionalized patch in terms of mechanical properties (c) and water contact angle (d). Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 3 independent repeats. Full size image When the patch was implanted ...
Finally, more tests were done. It was 1:30 am on her side of the ocean, and Rachel was feeling lonely. She didn’t want to wake her friends by calling in the middle of the night, so she sent a text to me. We texted back and forth. I held her in the Light, as she had ...
Self-report of reduced perceived stress in the Tamarkoz group was supported by significantly reduced heart rate. Sequential-Sidak, paired-comparison tests indicate a significant group-by-wave interaction for heart rate such that the Tamarkoz group had significantly lower heart rate than the Stress Ma...
Furthermore, there are no perfect tests to exclude pain originating from either the heart or the esophagus. Symptoms of chest pain may be present in patients with esophageal motility disorders and GERD. However, the majority of patients may not have any identifiable abnormality. Rome II delineated...
