Journal ArticleDOI
Endothelial dysfunction: the role and impact of the renin-angiotensin system
TL;DR: The blood vessel itself plays an important role that involves many factors including nitric oxide, which is a vasodilator, and endothelin, a vasoconstrictor, and in fact, the endothelium is altered morphologically as a result of coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
25 years of coronary angioplasty: almost a fairy tale
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Electrocardiographic findings were useful for risk stratification in patients with ARVD, with repolarization criteria, inferior leads TWI, a precordial QRS amplitude ratio of ≤ 0.48, and QRS fragmentation constituting valuable variables to predict adverse outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
