Arterial vasodilators have more beneficial effects on left ventricular afterload than apparent from measurements of cuff blood pressure
Echocardiographic assessment of wall motion in ST-segment alternans during coronary angioplasty
ST alternans occurs in the setting of severe and extensive myocardial ischemia. In this particular case, ST alternans occurred well after the onset of ischemia-induced left ventricular dysfunction. There is no echocardiographic evidence of beat-to-beat variation in contractility to correspond to this ST-segment phenomenon. Further studies of left ventricular function during ST alternans in patients are needed to determine whether this finding applies to all patients with ischemic heart disease
