Abstract
In this study marker pairs are implanted during bypass surgery in the area of newly perfused regions as well as in control regions. Sequential cineradiograms at 50 fr. per second were made at intervals over a period of one year. It was found that direct traumatic effects of the surgical intervention overwhelm the expected improvement of myocardial function in the first three postoperative months. At present the quantitative approach to segmental cardiac function is mainly one of image analysis in one or two preselected planes. Subjective visual interpretation of these images should be replaced by objective data analysis.
