The antiarrhythmic effect and clinical consequences of ischemic preconditioning.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although atherosclerosis is supposed to be responsible for more than 50% of coronary artery ectasia, the precise pathology of coronary artery ectasia is not clearly understood. A histopathological examination of ectatic segments has revealed mainly destruction of the media layer of the artery. In the present...
