The prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension among rural adults in Liaoning province of China.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Late potentials (LP) on signal-averaged electrocardiography (SAECG), recorded 6 to 30 days after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), identify patients at risk for late arrhythmic events. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have been shown to reduce ventricular remodeling and cardiovascular morta...

abstract：:This manuscript was written in an effort to emphasize the points made by Porter et al. (Clin Cardiol 1997; 20:971-973). Right ventricular infarction may be erroneously interpreted as an anteroseptal infarction because of elevation of the S-T segments in leads V1-V4. The two can be separated when, using the Grant metho...
