risk factors of heart failure (HF) development after myocardial infarction. Methods and results …

Many patients with chest pain undergoing coronary angiography do not show significant
obstructive coronary lesions. A substantial proportion of these patients have abnormalities in …

Ischemic disorders, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease,
