Headaches are a very common occurrence. The causes range from benign to life threatening. Examples include migraines, inflammation, stress and more serious causes such as stroke, brain tumor and high blood pressure. Headaches that are severe, unrelenting or associated with other symptoms such as fev...
If you feel pain in your jaw, especially on the left side, that might be indication of a heart attack. Though it isn’t what is depicted in the movies, heart attacks often cause jaw pain, neck pain, indigestion, anxiety and other severe symptoms. If you are also short of breath and ...

Chest pain on the left side can be a sign of a heart problem, but it may also be a sign of a less serious health condition, like excess gas, reflux or an anxiety attack. When left side chest pain is very intense and presents with symptoms like shortness of breath and tingling in th...

The Frank-Starling mechanism states that a decrease in chamber volume (preload) woulddecreasestroke volume; however, diuresisimprovesstroke volume when there is cardiac chamber enlargement and high filling pressures because diuresis decreases right ventricular c...
Fifth, individuals with chronic persistent subclinical hypothyroidism may be a different population than the population studied here and it is not possible to exclude whether levothyroxine might improve LV function in this population outside the situation of recent acute myocardial infarction. Sixth, LVEF...
When LV contractility is increased, this stroke work versus preload relation is shifted upward; when contractility is decreased, the relation is shifted downward. Such Frank-Starling ventricular function curves credit the ventricle for pressure development and shortening, and the analysis incorporates ...
To fully examine this, necessarily large longitudinal stroke studies would be required to recruit sufficient non-right-handers. An initial indication of its likelihood is offered, however, by a phenomenon that has been linked with VAN modulation of spatial function in the general population13. ...
