BMC AnesthesiologyBackground Remifentanil, an ultra-short-acting µ-opioid receptor agonist, is commonly used for anesthetic management due to excellent adjustability. Remifentanil is known to cause sinus bradycardia, however, because it has a direct negative chronotropic ...

Atrioventricular Block in Children
Педиатрическая фармакология, 2018 Rhythm and conduction disorders of the heart occupy one of the leading places in the structure of cardiovascular pathology in children. Atrioventricular block is the slowing down or loss of impulses from the atria to the ventricles.

Normalisation of left ventricular systolic function after change from VVI pacing to biventricular pacing in a child with congenital complete atrioventricular block, long-QT syndrome, and congenital muscular dystrophy:a 10-year follow-up [PDF]
, 2013 Development of dilated cardiomyopathy in patients with congenital complete atrioventricular block with or without pacemaker is well described. We report a case of dilated cardiomyopathy in a child with congenital complete atrioventricular block, long-QT ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Transient severe conduction disturbances associated with ankylosing spondylitis
Journal of Arrhythmia, 2019 A 46‐year‐old man presented with advanced and complete atrioventricular block. He was diagnosed with human leukocyte antigen‐B27‐positive ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and treated with nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs for AS.

Interesting Electrophysiological Findings in a Patient With Coincidental Right Ventricular Outflow Tract and Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia [PDF]
, 2004 Tachycardia induced tachycardias are not common in clinical practice, and it is believed that most cases of double tachycardia are coincidental.

The anatomy of interatrial communications - what does the interventionist need to know? [PDF]
, 2008 Increasingly, the interventional cardiologist is seeking to close interatrial communications by inserting devices by means of catheterisation. So as to optimise these procedures, it is adavantageous to have a firm grasp of the anatomy of the normal ...

From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Graves’ Disease Presenting with Complete Atrioventricular Block
Case Reports in Endocrinology, 2020 Hyperthyroidism commonly causes tachyarrhythmias such as sinus tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. Impaired atrioventricular conduction is a very rare complication of hyperthyroidism.

Cystic Tumor of the Atrioventricular Node Causing Rapid-Onset and Reversible Complete Heart Block
JACC: Case Reports, 2023 Cystic tumors of the atrioventricular node are rare primary cardiac neoplasms, frequently reported as a postmortem diagnosis during autopsy. Despite their small size, they can present with complete heart block or sudden cardiac death.
