Impact of Coronary Artery Bypass Graft on left Ventricular Systolic Function
Background& objective: Coronary artery disease is the common cause of disease-specific mortality and morbidity in Iraq. The objective was to evaluate the effect of coronary artery bypass graft surgery on left ventricular systolic function.

The dynamic ejecta of compact object mergers and eccentric collisions [PDF]
Compact object mergers eject neutron-rich matter in a number of ways: by the dynamical ejection mediated by gravitational torques, as neutrino-driven winds and probably also a good fraction of the resulting accretion disc finally becomes unbound by a combination of viscous and nuclear processes. If compact binary mergers produce indeed gamma-ray bursts

Left ventricular systolic function in aortic stenosis [PDF]
In aortic valve stenosis, concentric hypertrophy develops which is characterized by a reduced end-diastolic radius-to-wall thickness ratio (r/h) with an essentially normal cavity shape.

Frequency of predischarge ventricular arrhythmias in postmyocardial infarction patients depends on residual left ventricular pump performance and is independent of the occurrence of acute reperfusion [PDF]
Objective. To test whether acute reperfusion of the infarct-related vessel after an acute myocardial infarction is associated with a subsequent reduction in spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias that is independent of ventricular ejection fraction, 1,944 ...

Compact Binaries Ejected from Globular Clusters as GW Sources [PDF]
Performing N-body simulations, we examine the dynamics of BH-BH (10 Msun each) and NS-NS (1.4 Msun each) binaries formed in a cluster and its implications for gravitational wave detection. A significant fraction of compact binaries are ejected from a globular cluster after core collapse. Among the total number of ejected compact objects, 30 per cent of

For the long time the systolic myocardial dysfunction was traditionally associated with the severity of chronic heart failure (CHF). Increasing number of patients with symptoms of CHF but without systolic dysfunction has drawn the attention of ...

Left ventricular function at 24 hours, 14 days and 6 months after acute myocardial infarction [PDF]
To determine the natural history of left ventricular function at rest and during exercise and to assess the impact of this variable on subsequent mortality, 165 patients were studied with radionuclide angiography within 24 hours of acute myocardial ...

Quantitative gated blood pool tomographic assessment of regional ejection fraction: Definition of normal limits [PDF]
Objective. Our aim was to select a method of analysis for gated blood pool tomography that reduced variability in a group of normal subjects, allowed comparison with normal limit files and displayed results in the bull's-eye format.Background ...

Constraints on mass ejection in black hole formation, derived from black hole X-ray binaries [PDF]
Both the recently observed high runaway velocities of Cyg X-1 (~50 km/s) and X-ray Nova Sco 1994 (> ~100 km/s) and the relatively low radial velocities of the black hole X-ray binaries with low mass donor stars, can be explained by symmetric mass ejection in the supernovae (SNe) which formed the black holes in these systems.

Warm Debris Disks Produced by Giant Impacts During Terrestrial Planet Formation [PDF]
In our solar system, Mars-sized protoplanets frequently collided with each other during the last stage of terrestrial planet formation called the giant impact stage. Giant impacts eject a large amount of material from the colliding protoplanets into the terrestrial planet region, which may form debris disks with observable infrared excesses.
