Effects of chronic sodium depletion on function of isolated normal and hypertensive hypertrophied rat heart (1989)

HORI, KEI, MIRSKY, ISRAEL, FOUAD-TARAZI, FETNAT M

Since in vivo ejection fraction is said to be reduced in chronically sodium depleted dogs, this study was conducted to investigate the direct effects of sodium deprivation on intrinsic ventricular...
