Persistence of Atrial Fibrillation After Its Induction-Importance of the Duration and Dispersion of Atrial Refractoriness and Electrical Remodeling.

abstract：:BACKGROUND: Clinical trials have shown that the use of lipid-lowering agents in postmyocardial infarction (MI) patients reduces rates of subsequent coronary events, reduces coronary artery bypass surgery rates, and improves survival. Physician decisions to prescribe lipid-lowering drugs is influenced by a number of pa...
