Spray of tiny particles of gold can potentially treat heart disease, research suggests
Could a spritz of super-tiny particles of gold and peptides on a damaged heart potentially provide minimally invasive, on-the-spot repair?

A cardiac function curve is a graph showing the relationship between right atrial pressure (x-axis) and cardiac output (y-axis).
Superimposition of the cardiac function curve and venous return curve is used in one hemodynamic model.
