β-blockers and risk of all-cause mortality in patients with chronic heart failure and atrial fibrillation-a meta-analysis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Atherosclerosis (AT) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the accumulation of inflammatory cells, lipoproteins and fibrous tissue in the walls of arteries. AT is the primary cause of heart attacks and stroke and is the leading cause of death in Western countries. To date, the pathogenesis of AT...
