Electrophysiological differences of randomized deep sedation with dexmedetomidine versus propofol
Background Dexmedetomidine and propofol are common sedatives in intensive care units and for interventional procedures. Both may compromise sinus node function and atrioventricular conduction.

Surgical and Electrical Anatomy of the Inter-Nodal and Intra-Atrial Conduction System in the Heart
An anatomical understanding of the atrial myocardium is crucial for surgeons and interventionists who treat atrial arrhythmias. We reviewed the anatomy of the inter-nodal and intra-atrial conduction systems.

Cystic tumour of the atrioventricular node: case report and literature review
Cystic tumour of the atrioventricular node is the smallest tumour that can cause sudden cardiac death. This lesion arises from foregut endodermal rests which become enfolded into the heart during embryogenesis.

Atrioventricular canal defect and genetic syndromes: the unifying role of sonic hedgehog [PDF]
The atrioventricular canal defect (AVCD) is a congenital heart defect (CHD) frequently associated with extracardiac anomalies (75%). Previous observations from a personal series of patients with AVCD and "polydactyly syndromes" showed that the distinct ...

Effect of nitric oxide modulation on the basic and rate-dependent electrophysiological properties of AV-node in the isolated heart of rabbit: The role of adrenergic and cholinergic receptors [PDF]
Introduction: Recent studies showed that nitrergic system have specific modulatory effects on electrophysiological properties of atrioventricular (AV) node.

Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]
Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.
