Differential effects of a segment of slow conduction on reentrant ventricular tachycardia in the rabbit heart.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Clopidogrel is administered to prevent stent thrombosis; however, the uniformity of platelet inhibition after treatment and the influence of pretreatment reactivity on drug response have not been described.
