Hyponatremia in patients treated with lorcainide, a new antiarrhythmic drug.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although the use of clopidogrel in patients "unlikely" to require coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is recommended in current guidelines of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) management, an important minority of patients require CABG. We assessed the ability to predict need for CABG from demographics known a...
