[Limitation on efficacy of sirolimus-eluting stent implantation in patients on hemodialysis].

abstract：BACKGROUND:Myocyte injury might be involved in the progression of essential hypertension (EHT) toward heart failure (HF). However, in the absence of high-sensitivity (hs) assay, cardiac troponin T (TnT) in EHT has not been measurable. METHODS AND RESULTS:We studied 236 consecutive ambulatory patients (mean age=65.5 ye...
