High Levels of Circulating MicroRNA-3667-3p Are Associated with Coronary Plaque Erosion in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

abstract：:Several studies have reported that the left ventricular (LV) lead implant success rate ranges between 88.0% and 92.4%. Coronary venous anatomy differs among patients thus, necessitating multiple types of leads. To date, the implant success rate among Japanese patients utilizing a pre-specified family LV leads (includi...
