[Evaluation of resistance to activated protein C in myocardial infarction patients].

abstract：:Syncope is a common symptom and accounts for approximately 1% of all emergency visits. There are four main causes of syncope: reflex, neurally mediated syncope, orthostatic hypotension and cardiac syncope. The prognosis of patients with reflex syncopes is good, whereas patients with cardiac syncope are at increased ri...
