Abstract: In our concept of the interaction between intramyocardial pressure (IMP) and myocardial perfusion, IMP is defined as the hydrostatic pressure in the soft tissue surrounding the myocardial fibers. ...

Abstract: The dynamic capacitance of epicardial coronary arteries (i.d. ≥ 0.4 mm) in vivo was assessed from the volume stiffness and volume of these arteries. The volume stiffness was derived from the ...
