Myocardial angiogenesis resulting in functional communications with the left cavity induced by intramyocardial high-frequency ablation: histomorphology of immediate and long-term effects in pigs.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) may result in right ventricular (RV) pressure overload with a dilated RV which can be diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed in 190 unselected patients who had acute PE documented by contrast-enhanced spiral computed tomogr...
