Congestive heart failure was induced, which resulted in the development of myocardial hypertrophy, impaired cardiac function, and increased expression of the natriuretic peptides in the left ventricle. (1991) tested the effects of an angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor not only on survival but also on left ventricular failure in the isolated Langendorff heart by measurement of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, dP/ dt max , and mean coronary flow. During the first 10 days, dogs were paced at 180 beats/min (bpm), resulting in early left ventricular dysfunction as defined by significant systolic dysfunction with decreased cardiac output, cardiac enlargement, and increased filling pressures but maintained systemic perfusion pressure and renal sodium excretion and no clinical signs of heart failure. ./cache/cord-017907-997yo3ni.txt ./txt/cord-017907-997yo3ni.txt
