Verapamil: its potential for causing serious complications in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Previous studies comparing off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCABG) to conventional techniques utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass (CABG-CPB) have failed to provide patient selection guidelines. We sought to determine guidelines, attempting to rectify the limitations of previous studies. METHODS AND RES...
