Direct reprogramming of cardiomyocytes into cardiac Purkinje-like cells
Summary: Currently, there are no treatments that ameliorate cardiac cell death, the underlying basis of cardiovascular disease. An unexplored cell type in cardiac regeneration is cardiac Purkinje cells; specialized cells from the cardiac conduction ...

Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia in cardiac sarcoidosis. [PDF]
A 73-year-old man with history of pulmonary sarcoidosis was found to have runs of non-sustained bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (BVT) with two different QRS morphologies on a Holter monitor.

Development and Function of the Cardiac Conduction System in Health and Disease
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.

A 21st century view of the anatomy of the cardiac conduction system
Introduction: Since the discovery of the major components of the cardiac conduction system (CCS) by the early 20th century we have seen many technological advancements that have allowed immense insight into the CCS tissues. In this review we will discuss

Global alternans instability and its effect on non-linear wave propagation : dynamical Wenckebach block and self terminating spiral waves [PDF]
The main mechanism of formation of reentrant cardiac arrhythmias is via formation of waveblocks at heterogeneities of cardiac tissue. We report that heterogeneity and the area of waveblock can extend itself in space and can result formation of new ...

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