The angiotensin-converting--enzyme inhibitor enalapril significantly reduced the incidence of heart failure and the rate of related hospitalizations, as compared with the rates in the group given placebo, among patients with asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction.

A predictive instrument for use in a hand-held programmable calculator, which requires only 20 seconds to compute a patient's probability of having acute cardiac ischemia, could reduce the number of CCU admissions in this country by more than 250,000 per year.

The results show that the vasomotor effects on regional flows are mediated both via adrenergic mechanisms, and in the case of skeletal muscle and kidney, via mechanisms unrelated to sympathetic stimulation.

In the past two decades there have been momentous advances in the care of patients with cardiovascular ailments, yet, mortality from coronary-artery disease has remained unaffected, with 65% of deaths occurring in the initial three days and 85% during the first week of attack.
Bayesian analysis of electrocardiographic exercise stress testing.
We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of exercise-induced ST-segment depression in detecting coronary-artery disease by applying the likelihood-ratio formulation of Bayes's theorem to stress-test…
