Psychological distress as a predictor of ventricular arrhythmias in a post-myocardial infarction population.

abstract：AIMS:Furosemide is commonly prescribed for symptom relief in heart failure (HF) patients. Although few data support the continuous use of loop diuretics in apparently euvolemic HF patients with mild symptoms, there is concern about safety of diuretic withdrawal in these patients. The ReBIC-1 trial was designed to evalu...
