Heart Failure Models: Traditional and Novel Therapy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In various cardiac diseases, thrombembolism constitutes a major risk, and in these patients clinically silent microembolic signals (MES) are detectable within the transcranial Doppler frequency spectrum (TCD) of the major brain arteries. MES are already an accepted surrogate parameter of the future risk of s...
