The Choice Of Optimal Coronary Stents: Is It Possible To Maximize Cost-Effectiveness?

Abstract

Introduction: Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (IST), first described in 1979, is a fast heart rhythm arising from the sinus node, the normal primary pacemaker of the heart but at an inappropriately high rate. Many treatments have been suggested for patients with IST; β-adrenergic blockers, even at high doses, generally are ineffective and tend to be associated with other symptoms.
