Management of patients after thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND) have increased risk of atrial tachyarrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF). To date, treatment patterns and outcomes of patients with SND and AF have not been well described. HYPOTHESIS:Patients with SND and AF have higher risk of adverse cardiovascular out...
