Coronary sinus morphology in patients with atrioventricular junctional reentry tachycardia and other supraventricular tachyarrhythmias.

abstract：:Minoxidil, a potent predominant arterial dilator, improves hemodynamics over the short term in patients with heart failure. In random double-blind fashion 17 patients with chronic left heart failure were given minoxidil (nine patients) or placebo (eight patients) in addition to digoxin and diuretics for 3 months. Card...
