Role of calcium-blocking agents in treatment of cardiac arrhythmias related to myocardial ischemia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Previous studies have demonstrated that the adenosine monophosphate deaminase 1 (AMPD1) C34T polymorphism may be associated with survival in cardiac populations with a protective effect of the T allele. However, these studies included limited number of patients with few cardiovascular events. METHODS:We pro...
