Myocardial angiotensin receptors in human hearts.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:The clinical usefulness of class III antiarrhythmic drugs for the treatment of tachyarrhythmias is limited by their potential proarrhythmic effects, mainly torsades-depointes (TdP). The goal of this experimental study was to develop an isolated whole-heart model exhibiting typical characteristics of class III...
