Increased performance for the heart, heart failure and (or) arrhythmia. 5, sudden death and sudden cardiac death Poly stops, mostly in local cardiac electrophysiology disordered or pacing, conduction occurred obstacles caused by the severe arrhythmia. In recent years been raised acute coronary syndrome word that due to acute coronary changes suddenly reduced blood flow, cause unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction or sudden death.
