- Myocardial glucose uptake after dobutamine stress in chronic hibernating swine myocardium.
- Activation of p38 MAPK and increased glucose transport in chronic hibernating swine myocardium.
- Disparate opinions regarding indications for coronary artery revascularization before elective vascular surgery.
- Postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing elective revascularization for critical limb ischemia and intermittent claudication: a subanalysis of the Coronary Artery Revascularization Prophylaxis (CARP) trial.
