Acute hepatitis complicating parenteral amiodarone does not preclude subsequent oral therapy.

Amiodarone therapy does not compromise subsequent heart transplantation.

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of pulmonary complications, feasibility of early hospital discharge and requirements for postoperative inotropic and chronotropic support in patients receiving amiodarone therapy before heart transplantation. BACKGROUND Although many patients waiting for heart transplantation will die of arrhythmias before a donor heart is ...

These changes returned to normal within seven ...

In Experiment 2, we studied the effect of face configuration directly by comparing matching performance with normal vs. scrambled faces...
