 Context examples 

Arbutamine binds to and activates beta-1 adrenergic receptors in the myocardium, thereby increasing heart rate and increasing force of myocardial contraction.

(Arbutamine, NCI Thesaurus)

In addition, this agent inhibits alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors, resulting in a reduction in sympathetic stimulation of the heart, a negative chronotropic effect, and a decrease in myocardial oxygen demands.

(Amiodarone, NCI Thesaurus)

Moricizine hydrochloride blocks the rapid flow of sodium ions into the myocardial cell during phase 0 of the action potential.

(Moricizine Hydrochloride, NCI Thesaurus)

In addition, nitroglycerine causes coronary artery dilatation, thereby improving myocardial blood distribution.

(Nitroglycerin, NCI Thesaurus)

A myocardial infarction that does not produce elevation in the ST segments of the ECG.

(Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction by ECG Finding, NCI Thesaurus/CDISC)

An electrocardiographic finding of ST and T wave abnormalities in the absence of pathologic Q waves, which is suggestive of myocardial infarction in one or more regions of the heart.

(Non Q Wave Myocardial Infarction by ECG Finding, NCI Thesaurus/CDISC)

(Insomnia: Heart Attack, Stroke Risk, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)

Nisoldipine inhibits the transmembrane influx of extracellular calcium ions into myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cells, causing dilatation of the main coronary and systemic arteries and decreasing myocardial contractility.

(Nisoldipine, NCI Thesaurus)
