Combined carotid and coronary artery surgery: early and late results.

abstract：:Ventricular late potentials are obtained by signal averaging of surface electrocardiograms. Late potentials have been reported to be affected by body size or left ventricular mass. However, the effect of subadipose tissue, which is known to influence QRS amplitudes of surface ECG, on the variables of late potentials h...
