The Effect of External Diaphragmatic Pacemaker on the Patients With Chronic Cor Pulmonale

October 20, 2017 updated by: Zhang Xiangyu
This study evaluates the effect of external diaphragmatic pacemaker on the patients with chronic cor pulmonale. Half of participants will receive external diaphragmatic pacemaker, while the other half will receive routine therapy.
