Abstract

OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH a) The development of a closed chest animal preparation suitable for study of the peripheral vascular and cardiac effects secondary to an acute localized myocardial injury. b) The serial evaluation of the heart pump and the systemic vascular bed utilizing the arterial to venous transport of an intravascular non-diffusable [sic] indicator before and after myocardial injury. c) The mathematical modeling of this indicator distribution and transport characteristic between the arterial input and venous output. d) A summary of the physiological interpretations of the transport function and the results of the present study.
