To make a balloon heart, inflate another balloon leaving about two inches uninflated at the end.
Following BAL, lungs were perfused with PBS via the heart and inflated with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA), then immersion fixed in 4% PFA for 24 h.
Known as the Model TS-3 Enhanced External Counterpulsation System, the device pumps blood to the heart by inflating a series of cuffs strapped to the patient's legs.
We removed the lungs and heart en bloc, inflated the lungs to 15 cm of H2O with 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in paraffin and sectioned them (5-µm).
At 6 dpf, doubly transgenic embryos showed a strongly reduced body length, smaller head and eyes, heart oedemas and inflated yolk sac (Fig. 6G H).
The device deflated when the heart pumped blood and inflated when it relaxed, thereby reducing strain on the heart, according to Dr. Kantrowitz's theory of "counterpulsation".
This multitrillion-dollar market in largely unregulated derivatives was at the heart of the speculation that inflated the bubble, amplified the bust and led to the bailouts.
"His lungs just got so inflated, they crowded out his heart".

The Fridericia method for correcting the QT interval for heart rate is often not fully adequate in the setting of substantial heart rate increases and commonly results in overcorrection and inflated QTcF increases, independent of repolarization 34.
