QT dispersion in single coronary artery disease: is there a relation between QT dispersion and diseased coronary artery or lesion localization?

abstract：:Since the first cardiac catheterization in 1929, this procedure has evolved considerably. Historically performed via the transfemoral access, in the last years, the transradial access has been spreading gradually due to its many advantages. We have conducted a review of published literature concerning efficacy, safety...
