  • (19) Patients with abnormal arterial inflow had lower mean peak systolic velocities than normal subjects.
  • (20) In two exceptional patients with a prolonged PR interval, this apical sound was separated from a presystolic rumble that occurred during an accelerated phase of mitral inflow or at the A wave of mitral valve echograms.

Outflow


Definition:

  • (n.) A flowing out; efflux.
  • (v. i.) To flow out.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Within the outflow tract wall, the labelled cells were enmeshed by strands of alcian blue-stained extracellular matrix.
  • (2) Graft life is even more prolonged with patch angioplasty at venous outflow stenoses or by adding a new segment of PTFE to bypass areas of venous stenosis.
  • (3) Using 3H-labeled dextran, uveoscleral outflow was quantitated in normotensive and glaucomatous Beagles under general anesthesia.
  • (4) Long-distanced urethrocystopexy which permits to avoid an unwanted increase of outflow resistance with following retention of urine should be preferred.
  • (5) Accordingly, RV systolic SL shortening did not rise despite the substantial augmentation in RV outflow.
  • (6) An integrated approach to the surgical management of diffuse subaortic stenosis has been designed to provide adequate relief of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction whatever the anatomical features encountered at operation.
  • (7) A pressure sensor in the patient line prevents excessive inflow and outflow pressures by stopping the inflow or outflow pump respectively.
  • (8) Catheterization shows a gradient across one or both of the outflow tracts due to hypertrophic subaortic or subpulmonic stenosis.
  • (9) We suggest that the OH improved mainly because of the increase in MSA due to L-threo-DOPS, and that the drug may activate sympathetic outflow at a site proximal to the sympathetic ganglion.
  • (10) Multiple determination of size, shape, and diameter of the left atrium were made during the control state and under conditions of varied ventricular outflow resistance in intact anesthetized dogs with markers chronically attached to the mitral annulus and the valve cusps.
  • (11) Type II had the anastomosis too high on the gastric pouch, type III was due to an obstructing marginal ulcer, and type IV had a pouchlike deformity develop in the upper jejunum at the anastomosis that gradually compressed the outflow tract.
  • (12) The procedure was less effective in reducing outflow gradients in patients with dysplastic valves with or without Noonan's syndrome.
