Anatomic relations between the esophagus and left atrium and relevance for ablation of atrial fibrillation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Sharing of patient-level clinical trial data has been widely endorsed. Little is known about how extensively these data have been used for cardiometabolic diseases. We sought to evaluate the availability and use of shared data from cardiometabolic clinical trials. METHODS:We extracted data from ClinicalStud...
