U wave alternans in severe ischaemia.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Cardiac rehabilitation programmes result in reduced morbidity and mortality and improvement of functional class. Behaviour of natriuretic peptides coupled to these programmes is not well established. Our study's objective is to evaluate the behaviour of natriuretic peptides in a sample of patients undergoing ...
