The use of anticoagulants in morbidly obese patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with a poor outcome in patients with sinus rhythm (SR) or atrial fibrillation (AF). However, cut-off points for HRV measures differ between SR and AF. We hypothesized that a global index of 24-hour HRV based on evaluation of scatterplot would describe HRV ir...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Aspirin remains the mainstay of anti-platelet therapy in cardiac patients. However, if a patient is allergic to aspirin and dual anti-platelet therapy is indicated - such as with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), then there is no clear guidance. One possibility is aspirin desensitization. A variety o...
