Initial apixaban dosing in patients with atrial fibrillation.

abstract：:Research protocols often utilize serial exercise testing to examine the efficacy of anti-ischemic therapies. These tests, however, are prone to multiple sources of bias. This investigation sought to determine the influence of varying precordial electrocardiographic (ECG) electrode placement on the detection of exercis...
