The word "myocardium" in example sentences

Indeed, although heart can stand some degree of hypoxia, this situation is incompatible with its normal bioenergetic function, and ischemic heart disease with compromised oxygen supply to the myocardium is a common cause of heart failure This idea is clearly illustrated in the present study by the concomitant severe decrease in contractile activity and PCr concentration measured in Control hearts perfused under low oxygen conditions compared with previously reported values ❋ Guillaume Calmettes Et Al. (2010)

A cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle (myocardium). ❋ Unknown (2010)

The secondary toxicity of TCE, and perhaps the most life-threatening, is its ability to sensitize the myocardium to catecholamines. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The potential for CNS depression, respiratory depression, and the ability of this agent to sensitize the myocardium to the arrhythmogenic effects of catecholamines are the major toxicities of TCE poisoning. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The heart is almost entirely muscle, the myocardium, and is strong enough to lift approximately 3,000 pounds, close to the weight of a compact car. ❋ Beverley Golden (2011)

The heart is computationally interesting as a complex 'multiphysics' problem showing phenomena that can be modelled by various approaches, a particular insight being the recognition that common arrhythmias - 'flutter' and fibrillation - involve the onset of stable spiral waves in the excitable medium of the myocardium. ❋ Ray Girvan (2005)
