Mechanisms of ventricular parasystole.

abstract：:Disorders associated with the overproduction or delayed clearance of beta-very low density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein (LDL) are strikingly related to premature coronary artery disease. There are five recognized classes of LDL-lowering drugs, each acting through different basic mechanisms. The increased pr...
