Influence of influenza vaccination on recurrent hospitalization in patients with heart failure.

abstract：:Many electrophysiological and histological investigations have demonstrated that post-operative dysrhythmias which occur in children with heart disorders requiring extensive surgical treatment in the area of the right atrium, are often caused by intraoperative lesions of the sinoatrial node. Accordingly, accurate dete...
