ICD Outcome in Pediatric Cardiomyopathies
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022 Background: Pediatric patients with cardiomyopathies are at risk of malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). An ICD may prevent SCD. The aim of this study was to evaluate ICD implantation outcomes, and to compare transvenous and subcutaneous

Calcium Handling Defects and Cardiac Arrhythmia Syndromes
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020 Calcium ions (Ca2+) play a major role in the cardiac excitation-contraction coupling. Intracellular Ca2+ concentration increases during systole and falls in diastole thereby determining cardiac contraction and relaxation.
