Lineages of the Cardiac Conduction System [PDF]
The cardiac conduction system (CCS) initiates and coordinately propagates the electrical impulse to orchestrate the heartbeat. It consists of a set of interconnected components with shared properties.

The Cardiac Conduction System [PDF]
The human heart beats 2.5 billion times during a normal lifespan, a feat accomplished by cells of the cardiac conduction system (CCS). The functional components of the CCS can be broadly divided into the impulse-generating nodes and the impulse-propagating His-Purkinje system.

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

Development and Function of the Cardiac Conduction System in Health and Disease [PDF]
The generation and propagation of the cardiac impulse is the central function of the cardiac conduction system (CCS). Impulse initiation occurs in nodal tissues that have high levels of automaticity, but slow conduction properties.

Cardiac Resynchronisation with Conduction System Pacing
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 ...

Conduction System Pacing for Cardiac Resynchronisation
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. There is an emerging role for CSP to achieve cardiac resynchronisation in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection ...

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