The treatment with antiplatelets (salicylic acid), Ca-channel antagonists (verapamil), and digoxin was successful and the patient had no symptoms; physical examination was normal, ECG showed the following: sinus rhythm (HR of 60/min) and negative T-wave from leads V2 to V6; chest X-ray corresponded with condition after right pneumonectomy (Figure 2).
