Echocardiographic diagnosis of quadricuspid aortic valve.

abstract：:Large-scale trials have demonstrated a consistent mortality reduction from angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor therapy for chronic heart failure. Nonetheless, the pharmacologic and physiologic mechanisms of this favourable affect and the appropriate target population remain controversial. ACE inhibitors exer...
