Focal pharmacological modulation of atrioventricular nodal conduction via implantable catheter: a novel therapy for atrial fibrillation?

abstract：BACKGROUND:A family history of premature coronary artery disease (CAD) in a first-degree relative is an independent risk factor for coronary disease. Both genetic and environmental influences are likely to be responsible and may interact, but their relative importance is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS:We studied endothe...
