    Abstract: The objective of the study was to estimate the contractility characteristics and electromechanical coupling of human internal thoracic artery (ITA) by mechanography and double sucrose gap technique to compare the effect of nitroglycerin with other pharmacological agents. The study of mechanical tension (mechanography) of the ITA segments has been p... Show More
