I General Introduction

II Pulsation-induced dilation of sub-endocardial and sub-epicardial resistance arteries: Quantitation, mechanism of action, interference with vasodilator sensitivity.

III Effect of steady versus oscillating flow on porcine coronary arterioles: involvement of NO and superoxide anion.

IV NO and flow increase distensibility and enhance pulsation-induced dilation in sub-endocardial arterioles

V Calcium blockade prevents pressure-dependent inward remodeling in isolated sub-endocardial resistance vessels
