Risk of thromboembolic events after percutaneous left atrial radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:It has been suggested that intracellular Ca2+ overload in cardiac myocytes leads to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Troglitazone, an insulin-sensitizing agent, is a promising therapeutic agent for diabetes and has been shown to prevent diabetes-induced myocardial changes. To elucidate the underly...
