Prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy in a hypertensive population.

abstract：:The study of 'atrial vulnerability' is often clinically indicated but it requires the use of invasive intracardiac stimulation. The purpose of the study was to assess the use of oesophageal pacing in the evaluation of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATA). Fifty-five patients with documented ATA (group I) and 60 without (grou...
