We calculated the wavelength of the atrial impulse in chronically instrumented conscious
dogs by measuring both conduction velocity and refractory period: wavelength = refractory …

Background & Aims Noninvasive surrogate end points of long-term outcomes of patients
with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) are needed to monitor disease progression and evaluate …

Background & Aims Approaches to risk stratification for patients with primary biliary cirrhosis
(PBC) are limited, single-center based, and often dichotomous. We aimed to develop and …

We measured the wavelength of the cardiac impulse, defined as the distance traveled by
the depolarization wave during the functional refractory period, in isolated narrow strips of …

Our purpose was to develop a profile of the frequency and duration with which different
teaching techniques are used in the university classroom. Student observers recorded the time …

Peristaltic motor activity of the gut is an essential activity to sustain life. In each gut organ, a
multitude of overlapping mechanisms has developed to acquire the ability of coordinated …

Epicardial activation patterns were determined during repetitive responses and nonsustained
and sustained ventricular tachycardias induced by premature impulses in infarcted canine …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) generate slow waves. Disrupted ICC
networks and gastric dysrhythmias are each associated with gastroparesis. However, there …

Slow waves coordinate gastric motility, and abnormal slow-wave activity is thought to
contribute to motility disorders. The current understanding of normal human gastric slow-wave …

In the isolated blood-perfused canine heart we produced episodes of rapid atrial flutter by
continuous infusion of acetylcholine and rapid pacing. The spread of excitation during atrial …
