Long-term outcomes of arrhythmia and distinct electrophysiological features in congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries in an Asian cohort.

abstract：:The main threat to patients with mild to moderate hypertension is coronary heart disease (CHD), but controlled trials of antihypertensive drug therapy have given disappointing results: overall, the reduction in CHD mortality (11%) and morbidity (10%) were small and nonsignificant. Recent trials comparing a beta blocke...
