Performance of conventional orthogonal and multiple-dipole electrocardiograms in estimating left ventricular muscle mass.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Vascular inflammation and lipid deposition are prominent features of atherosclerotic lesion formation. We have shown previously that the dithiol compound alpha-lipoic acid (LA) exerts antiinflammatory effects by inhibiting tumor necrosis factor-alpha- and lipopolysaccharide-induced endothelial and monocyte a...
