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.

Cardiac conduction system- A detailed study in 46 cases of sudden death

Journal of Pathology of Nepal, 2015
Background: Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is the modern pandemic and is said to be responsible for a major chunk of sudden cardiac deaths. However, in few cases; especially among the young, conduction system abnormalities were found to be the ...

A concise review on the anatomy of the atrioventricular node in mammals [PDF]

The Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology, 2009
Cardiac conduction system enables the heart to pulsate continuously by producing electric impulse and conducting it. As the anatomical information about cardiac conduction system in human being and other mammals needed in various fields of sciences, such

Cardiac conduction system anomalies and sudden cardiac death: insights from murine models

Frontiers in Physiology, 2012
The cardiac conduction system (CCS) is a series of specialized tissues in the heart responsible for the initiation and co-ordination of the heartbeat. Alterations in the CCS, especially the His-Purkinje system, have been identified as an important player

An Appreciation of Anatomy in the Molecular World

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2020
Robert H. Anderson is one of the most important and accomplished cardiac anatomists of the last decades, having made major contributions to our understanding of the anatomy of normal hearts and the pathologies of acquired and congenital heart diseases ...

New Insights into the Development and Morphogenesis of the Cardiac Purkinje Fiber Network: Linking Architecture and Function

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021
The rapid propagation of electrical activity through the ventricular conduction system (VCS) controls spatiotemporal contraction of the ventricles. Cardiac conduction defects or arrhythmias in humans are often associated with mutations in key cardiac ...

Zebrafish Models in Therapeutic Research of Cardiac Conduction Disease

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Malfunction in the cardiac conduction system (CCS) due to congenital anomalies or diseases can cause cardiac conduction disease (CCD), which results in disturbances in cardiac rhythm, leading to syncope and even sudden cardiac death.

Development of the Cardiac Conduction System [PDF]

Circulation Research, 1998
In the formed heart, it is convention to distinguish working myocardium (the primary function of which is contraction) from the conduction system (the primary function of which is the generation and conduction of the electrical impulse). The conduction system comprises separate components with distinct functions.

The Cardiac Conduction System: Generation and Conduction of the Cardiac Impulse. [PDF]

Critical care nursing clinics of North America, 2016
In this article, the authors outline the key components behind the automated generation of the cardiac impulses and the effect these impulses have on cardiac myocytes. Also, a description of the key components of the normal cardiac conduction system is provided, including the sinoatrial node, the atrioventricular node, the His bundle, the bundle ...

Coordinated Tbx3/Tbx5 transcriptional control of the adult ventricular conduction system

eLife
The cardiac conduction system (CCS) orchestrates the electrical impulses that enable coordinated contraction of the cardiac chambers. The T-box transcription factors TBX3 and TBX5 are required for CCS development and associated with overlapping and ...
