Development of the Cardiac Conduction System. [PDF]
Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol, 2020 The cardiac conduction system initiates and propagates each heartbeat. Specialized conducting cells are a well-conserved phenomenon across vertebrate evolution, although mammalian and avian species harbor specific components unique to organisms with four-

Conduction System Pacing for Cardiac Resynchronisation
Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2021 Conduction system pacing (CSP) is a technique of pacing that involves implantation of permanent pacing leads along different sites of the cardiac conduction system and includes His bundle pacing and left bundle branch pacing.

In vivo visualization and molecular targeting of the cardiac conduction system. [PDF]
J Clin Invest, 2022 Accidental injury to the cardiac conduction system (CCS), a network of specialized cells embedded within the heart and indistinguishable from the surrounding heart muscle tissue, is a major complication in cardiac surgeries. Here, we addressed this unmet

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 ...

PRC1 Stabilizes Cardiac Contraction by Regulating Cardiac Sarcomere Assembly and Cardiac Conduction System Construction. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 Cardiac development is a complex process that is strictly controlled by various factors, including PcG protein complexes. Several studies have reported the critical role of PRC2 in cardiogenesis. However, little is known about the regulation mechanism of

Cardiac conduction system regeneration prevents arrhythmias after myocardial infarction. [PDF]
Nat Cardiovasc ResArrhythmias are a hallmark of myocardial infarction (MI) and increase patient mortality. How insult to the cardiac conduction system causes arrhythmias following MI is poorly understood.

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
