Systolic blood pressure and subjective well-being in patients with coronary artery disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Electromechanical (EM) coupling heterogeneity is significant in long QT syndrome (LQTS), particularly in symptomatic patients; EM window (EMW) has been proposed as an indicator of interaction and a better predictor of arrhythmia than QTc.
