Changes in Serum Transaminase Activity following Myocardial Damage due to Lymphatic Congestion

Nature volume 183, pages 1333–1334 (1959)Cite this article

Abstract

LIGATION of the paracardial lymphatic glands and of the main paracardial lymphatic trunks results in myocardial damage and pathological changes of the electrocardiogram1.
