PRRX1 Loss‐of‐Function Mutations Underlying Familial Atrial Fibrillation
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of clinical cardiac dysrhythmia responsible for thromboembolic cerebral stroke, congestive heart failure, and death. Aggregating evidence highlights the strong genetic basis of AF. Nevertheless,

Arrhythmic risk in elderly patients candidates to transcatheter aortic valve replacement. predicative role of repolarization temporal dispersion [PDF]
Degenerative aortic valve stenosis (AS) is associated to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, as well as mental stress in specific patients. In such a context, substrate, autonomic imbalance as well as repolarization dispersion abnormalities ...

Cardiac arrhythmias are very frequent in fetuses and newborns. The prognosis depends on the nature of the arrhythmias but is most often either spontaneously benign or following short-term medication administration. A correct diagnosis is essential for both management and prognosis.

Global alternans instability and its effect on non-linear wave propagation : dynamical Wenckebach block and self terminating spiral waves [PDF]
The main mechanism of formation of reentrant cardiac arrhythmias is via formation of waveblocks at heterogeneities of cardiac tissue. We report that heterogeneity and the area of waveblock can extend itself in space and can result formation of new ...

Double-Outlet Left Ventricle: Case Series and Systematic Review of the Literature
Double-outlet left ventricle (DOLV) is an abnormal ventriculo-arterial connection characterized by the origin of both great arteries from the morphological left ventricle. The aim of our paper is to describe the morphological and imaging features of DOLV
