The effect of early and intensive statin therapy on ventricular premature beat or nonsustained ventricular tachycardia in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ablation procedures in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) includes isolation of all pulmonary veins (PVs). We hypothesized that an approach using an algorithm to detect arrhythmogenic PVs (aPVs) might lead to shorter procedure duration (PD) and fewer proarrhythmic effects (PE). HYPOTHESIS:Is...
