Incidence and prognostic significance of sustained ventricular tachycardias in heart failure patients implanted with biventricular pacemakers without a back-up defibrillator: results from the prospective, multicentre, Mona Lisa cohort study.

abstract：:Myocardial protection and the control of ischemic injury has been highly successful clinically in the field of cardiac surgery where hearts are made globally ischemic. By contrast, protection of the regionally ischemic myocardium, as found during evolving myocardial infarction, has been less successful and, despite nu...
