Popis: It is well-known from numerous animal studies that the abrupt closure of a major coronary artery can cause a rapid drop in regional blood flow to near O-values and a subsequent marked deterioration of myocardial function in the dependent area. Until recently, the application of these experiences to the clinical situation was mostly hypothetical since similar studies in conscious patients were not feasible.
