Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018 BackgroundThe rate of left ventricular pressure decrease during isovolumic relaxation is traditionally assessed algebraically via 2 empirical indices: the monoexponential and logistic time constants (τE and τL). Since the pattern of right ventricular (RV)

Effect of prolonged space flight on cardiac function and dimensions [PDF]
Echocardiographic studies were performed preflight 5 days before launch and on recovery day and 1, 2, 4, 11, 31 and 68 days postflight. From these echocardiograms measurements were made.

Influence of a neck compression collar on cerebrovascular and autonomic function in men and women [PDF]
, 2019 Objective Neck compression collars have been proposed to reduce injury to the brain caused by head impacts. Our objective was to test if compression of the carotid artery affected the baroreflex and influenced blood pressure control.
