Significance of a fragmented QRS complex versus a Q wave in patients with coronary artery disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Aldosterone and angiotensin (Ang) II both may cause organ damage. Circulating aldosterone is produced in the adrenals; however, local cardiac synthesis has been reported. Aldosterone concentrations depend on the activity of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2). We tested the hypothesis that reducing aldosterone by...
