Secondary prevention by raising HDL cholesterol and reducing triglycerides in patients with coronary artery disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Perioperative management of patients with complete mixing of pulmonary and systemic blood centers on approximately equating pulmonary (Qp) and systemic (Qs) blood flow (Qp/Qs approximately 1). This empirically derived target is opposed by theoretical studies advocating a target Qp/Qs well below 1. We studied...
