Comparative effects of calcium entry-blocking drugs, beta-blocking drugs, and their combination in patients with chronic stable angina.

abstract：PURPOSE:The Kantrowitz CardioVAD (KCV) is an electrically powered, pneumatically driven circulatory assist device which provides diastolic augmentation and systolic unloading to the failing heart. It consists of a 60cc-pumping chamber, a percutaneous access device (PAD), and an external controller. The pumping chamber,...
