Laguerre Hanover is outstanding in type and conformation -- good body, plenty of heart girth, stands straight on his legs on excellent feet -- and has the smoothest gait.

One simple method of measuring the expansion of the heart is to tie a thin rubber tube, filled with mercury, around the heart and record the change in resistance as the tube is stretched.

It is also possible to utilize a pressure transducer, mounted at the end of a catheter which is inserted into the heart's left ventricle, to indicate the blood pressure in the heart itself.

`` Last year your Tennessee Williams told our Dilys Powell, in a television program, that it is the task of the playwright to throw light into the dark corners of the human heart.

Microscopically, sections from the posterior base of the left ventricle of the heart showed several large areas of replacement of muscle by fibrous tissue.

Or ( more commonly, thinks Keys ) the deposits themselves get so big that they choke off the artery's flow to the point that an infarct occurs: the heart muscle is suffocated, cells supplied by the artery die, and the heart is permanently, perhaps fatally injured.

The physical effects of anxiety may include heart palpitations, tachycardia, muscle weakness and tension, fatigue, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, headache, stomach aches, or tension headaches.

As the body prepares to deal with a threat, blood pressure, heart rate, perspiration, blood flow to the major muscle groups are increased, while immune and digestive functions are inhibited ( the fight or flight response ).

ACE inhibitors are now used to reverse frailty and muscle wasting in elderly patients without heart failure.

The electrical part of the heart is centered on the periodic contraction ( squeezing ) of the muscle cells that is caused by the cardiac pacemaker located in the sinoatrial node.

The heart muscle of athletes has become conditioned to have a higher stroke volume, so requires fewer contractions to circulate the same volume of blood.

Rarely, young children, or adults may die from the acute disease due to severe inflammation / infection of the heart muscle ( myocarditis ) or brain ( meningoencephalitis ).

If left untreated, Chagas disease can be fatal, in most cases due to heart muscle damage.

Recently, direct stem cell therapy of the heart muscle using bone marrow cell transplantation has been shown to dramatically reduce risks of heart failure in Chagas patients.

An innate response for coping with danger, it works by accelerating the heart rate, dilating the blood vessels, and increasing muscle tension and breathing rate.

In particular, heart and skeletal muscle prefer fatty acids.

Lafora disease, also called Lafora progressive myoclonic epilepsy or MELF, is a fatal autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by the presence of inclusion bodies, known as Lafora bodies, within neurons and the cells of the heart, liver, muscle, and skin.

Since the heart muscle is only regulated by the autonomic nervous system, it is generally unaffected by MG.

The mesoderm forms muscle, bone, and lymph tissue, as well as the interior of the lungs, heart, and reproductive and excretory systems.

Pufferfish tetrodotoxin deadens the tongue and lips, and induces dizziness and vomiting, followed by numbness and prickling over the body, rapid heart rate, decreased blood pressure, and muscle paralysis.

Many measures are part of modern psychophysiology including measures of brain activity such as ERPs, brain waves ( electroencephalography, EEG ), fMRI ( functional magnetic resonance imaging ), measures of skin conductance ( skin conductance response, SCR ; galvanic skin response, GSR ), cardiovascular measures ( heart rate, HR ; beats per minute, BPM ; heart rate variability, HRV ; vasomotor activity ), muscle activity ( electromyography, EMG ), changes in pupil diameter with thought and emotion ( pupillometry ) and eye movements, recorded via the electro-oculogram ( EOG ) and direction-of-gaze methods.

Minerals are important for the body because they help with the structure of bones, regulate heart beat, maintain muscle, and take part in regulating cell growth.

For instance, patients who experience painless heart attacks have higher pain thresholds for electric shock, muscle cramp and heat.

When these are used, effects may include anxiolysis, analgesia, sedation, somnolence, cognitive / memory impairment, dissociation, muscle relaxation, lowered blood pressure / heart rate, respiratory depression, anesthesia, and anticonvulsant effects.

On this claim, he deduced that the heart was not a true muscle due to its obvious involuntary nature of its motion.

Since the hose is the heart of a peristaltic hose pump, and hose life is inversely proportional to the number of squeezes, this design will outperform a pump with shoes at the same speed.

Even when Prince Leo finds the heart and brings it to the giant, one of the guards grabs the heart and squeezes it enough to kill the giant where it's dead body becomes a hill.

The original electrocardiograph primarily indicates irregularities in the heartbeat, but today's techniques allow exact measurements of the flow of blood through the aorta, dimensioning of the heart and its chambers, and a much more detailed study of each heartbeat.

For many of these measurements the chest must be opened, but the blood vessels and the heart itself remain undisturbed.

Sonar can be used to measure the thickness of the heart by placing small crystal transducers at opposite sides of the heart or blood vessel and exciting one with some pulsed ultrasonic energy.

Readings of the number of milligrams of cholesterol in the blood, which seem to have value in predicting heart attacks, are becoming as routine as the electrocardiogram, which can show that the heart has suffered a symptomatic attack.

A clot forms at the site, seals off the flow of blood to the heart and provokes a heart attack.

The ventral aorta carries de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the gills ; part of this vessel forms the ascending aorta in tetrapods ( the remainder forms the pulmonary artery ).

With age, the aorta stiffens such that the pulse wave is propagated faster and reflected waves return to the heart faster before the semilunar valve closes, which raises the blood pressure.

Ayahuasca also has cardiovascular effects, moderately increasing both heart rate and diastolic blood pressure.

An ACE inhibitor ( or angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor ) is a pharmaceutical drug used primarily for the treatment of hypertension ( high blood pressure ) and congestive heart failure.

The use of a maximum dose of ACE inhibitors in such patients ( including for prevention of diabetic nephropathy, congestive heart failure, prophylaxis of cardiovascular events ) is justified, because it improves clinical outcomes, independent of the blood pressure-lowering effect of ACE inhibitors.

In vitro, they dilate the coronary and peripheral arteries and have negative inotropic and chronotropic effects-decreasing afterload, improving myocardial efficiency, reducing heart rate and improving coronary blood flow.

The boot checks the heart rhythm and compresses the limb between heartbeats ; the compression helps cure the wounds in the walls of veins and arteries, and helps to push the blood back to the heart.

In a normal functioning human body, arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to the rest of the body, and veins return oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs and heart.

The heart acts to pump blood through arteries and uptake the venous blood.
