Does Ginkgo biloba reduce the risk of cardiovascular events?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Reducing hospital readmission after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has the potential to both improve quality and reduce costs. As such, readmission after AMI has been a target of financial penalties through Medicare. However, substantial concern exists about potential adverse effects and efficacious readm...
