Comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation: is it cost-effective?

abstract：:The aim of this study was to determine whether sudden cardiac death from pulmonary embolism exhibits any chronobiological rhythm. Five hundred and seven consecutive subjects dying suddenly outside of hospital and brought into our Emergency Department from January 1983 to December 1989 were studied. The time and date o...
