The Mechanism of Mitral Regurgitation Influences the Temporal Dynamics of the Vena Contracta Area as Measured with Color Flow Doppler.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Nicotine has an antinociceptive effect in animal models. The analgesic effect in humans has been examined, but studies have had mixed results. A proposed etiology is variability in chronic nicotine exposure because of differences in tobacco smoking rates and second-hand smoke exposure. In this study, we exam...
