ABSTRACT Noonan Syndrome (NS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous condition characterized by typical facial dysmorphisms, short stature, congenital heart defects, and developmental delays. While variants in genes such as PTPN11, SOS1, and RAF1 account for most genetically confirmed cases, diagnosis is challenging due to phenotypic overlap ...

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.

Herein, we report the case of a 49-year-old woman with typical atrioventricular nodal (AVN) reentrant tachycardia, confined to the compact atrioventricular node, showing numerous rare electrophysiological findings such as unique AVN reentrant echoes ...

HCN4 in the atrioventricular node
Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 4 (HCN4) drives the funny current in cardiac pacemaker regions. Its involvement in sinoatrial node pacemaker generation is well known, but its function in the atrioventricular (AV) node (AVN) has not intensively been studied.

Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Spread of Activity Through the Atrioventricular Node [PDF]
Electrophysiologic mapping experiments on the excitation of the A-V node of isolated rabbit heart have been performed with intracellular microelectrodes. An area of tissue showing peculiar physiologic characteristics was shown to coincide, at least in part, with the histologic A-V node and His bundle.

A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening
Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

Repeated misclassifications of tachycardia by an implantable cardiac defibrillator
This case describes repeated misclassifications of SVT due to AV node reentry as VT by an ICD. This case illustrates the limitations of SVT-VT discrimination algorithm.

Atrioventricular Reciprocating Tachycardia Mediated by Twin Atrioventricular Nodes
A 21-year-old man with univentricular and uniatrial heart came for a third attempt at ablation of recurrent supraventricular tachycardia. He had undergone a previous cardiac surgery of a Blalock–Taussig shunt, and bidirectional Glenn, and the electrophysiological study revealed an ...

Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...
