In cases of congestive heart failure we take samples at intervals of 15 miuutes for one hour or longer. The resultant “mixing curves” are nearly always flat by the end of half an hour. Caution is required in interpreting results from tests taade during shuck or hypothermia because there as evidence that portions of the vascular tree may never be reached by the tagged cells tu these conditions (Rodbard, Saiki, Malia & Young 1951; Prentice, Olney, Artz & Howard 1954). Thus, the mixing. curve may be flat, but the csr yulyme distribution represents the cirtulating, father than the total, cell volume.
