High resolution 3-Dimensional imaging of the human cardiac conduction system from microanatomy to mathematical modeling [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disturbances are accompanied by structural remodelling of the specialised cardiomyocytes known collectively as the cardiac conduction system.

Neonatal Deletion of Hand1 and Hand2 within Murine Cardiac Conduction System Reveals a Novel Role for HAND2 in Rhythm Homeostasis [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
The cardiac conduction system, a network of specialized cells, is required for the functioning of the heart. The basic helix loop helix factors Hand1 and Hand2 are required for cardiac morphogenesis and have been implicated in cardiac conduction system ...

Dbh + catecholaminergic cardiomyocytes contribute to the structure and function of the cardiac conduction system in murine heart [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
The heterogeneity of functional cardiomyocytes arises during heart development, which is essential to the complex and highly coordinated cardiac physiological function.

Cardiac Resynchronisation with Conduction System Pacing

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2023
To date, biventricular pacing (BiVP) has been the standard pacing modality for cardiac resynchronisation therapy. However, it is non-physiological, with the activation spreading between the left ventricular epicardium and right ventricular endocardium ...

Pleural and pericardial effusions with cardiac conduction system and myocardial involvement: A rare presentation of sarcoidosis [PDF]

Radiology Case Reports, 2022
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous immune disorder that can infiltrate many organ systems. When the cardiac system is involved, the myocardium and conduction system are frequently affected. We report the case of a patient presenting with complete heart block

Impact of functional studies on exome sequence variant interpretation in early-onset cardiac conduction system diseases. [PDF]

Cardiovasc Res, 2020
Aims The genetic cause of cardiac conduction system disease (CCSD) has not been fully elucidated. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) can detect various genetic variants; however, the identification of pathogenic variants remains a challenge.

Regulation of Cardiac Conduction and Arrhythmias by Ankyrin/Spectrin-Based Macromolecular Complexes

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021
The cardiac conduction system is an extended network of excitable tissue tasked with generation and propagation of electrical impulses to signal coordinated contraction of the heart.

Incidence of carditis and predictors of pacemaker implantation in patients hospitalized with Lyme disease

PLoS ONE, 2021
Background Lyme carditis, defined as direct infection of cardiac tissue by Borrelia bacteria, affects up to 10% of patients with Lyme disease. The most frequently reported clinical manifestation of Lyme carditis is cardiac conduction system disease.
