Body iron stores and the risk of carotid atherosclerosis: prospective results from the Bruneck study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Two different techniques have been developed for radiofrequency catheter ablation of typical atrioventricular nodal reentry (AVNRT). Lesions made anteriorly near the apex of the triangle of Koch usually eliminate fast pathway function, whereas lesions made posteriorly near the ostium of the coronary sinus se...
