Effects of Aorto-Coronary Bypass Grafts on Myocardial Contractile State: Response to Catecholamine Stress

  • Chapter
Current Topics in Coronary Research

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 39))

Abstract

The clinical success of aorta-coronary bypass grafts in the recent past suggests the efficacy of this procedure in increasing blood flow to ischemic areas of myocardium (1, 2). The ultimate effects of these grafts will be assessed subjectively by reduced disability from angina pectoris, and objectively by reduced morbidity and mortality from coronary artery disease.
