title: Observations on the effect of angina on the left ventricle, with special reference to diastolic behavior.
abstract: A series of investigations on patients developing angina following pacing are described. Evidence suggesting tension prolongation in the ischaemic areas of the ventricle with reduction in segmental systolic inward movement and a decrease in segmental diastolic complicance is presented and discussed.
