Second, "irreversible cessation" of cardiac function meant that at least five minutes had to pass without a heartbeat.
Radionuclide cardiac imaging allows for noninvasive assessment of cardiac function and regional blood flow.
These images provide movies of cardiac function with new levels of endocardial detail.

In heart failure, the crosstalk between the endoplasmic sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) and juxtaposed mitochondria is altered, leading to malfunction of cardiomyocytes and decline of cardiac function.
