Results of surgical management of acute left ventricular aneurysms.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Many patients with implanted cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) receive adjunctive antiarrhythmic drug therapy, most commonly amiodarone or sotalol. The effects of these drugs on defibrillation energy requirements have not been previously assessed in a randomized controlled trial. METHODS AND RESULTS:The Op...
