Prognostic implications of complicated ventricular arrhythmias early after hospital discharge in acute myocardial infarction: a serial ambulatory electrocardiography study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Patients with kidney failure have a heavy burden of coronary artery disease. The results of preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic measures developed in nonuremic populations cannot automatically be extrapolated to this unique group of patients.
