Cross-sectional echocardiographic detection of aortic obstruction. 2. Coarctation of the Aorta.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Creation of a complete bidirectional inferior vena cava-tricuspid annulus isthmus block (CBIB) by radiofrequency catheter ablation is now a well-accepted criterion for prevention of common atrial flutter (AFl) recurrences. However, some patients still complain of palpitations after ablation, and it is not kn...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Apolipoprotein E (apoE) has long been known to play an important role in the clearance of plasma lipoproteins. More recently, a direct role for apoE in delaying atherogenesis has been proposed. Macrophage production of apoE in the artery wall has been demonstrated to provide protection against atheroscleroti...
