| Abstract
|
:
|
Various arrhythmias are found in different clinical situations, such as premature complexes in healthy individuals, supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White snydrome, atrioventricular block, and ventricular fibrillation in cardiopathic conditions, especially in patients with ischemic disease.
