Chronic pretreatment of ACEI reduces no-reflow in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The global T-inversion (GTI) electrocardiogram (ECG) is strikingly abnormal with major QTc prolongation, but with a surprisingly good prognosis by Kaplan-Meier curve. This contrasts with most significant QTc prolongations. HYPOTHESIS:This study was undertaken to ascertain QT interval dispersion (QTd) in glo...
