PRDM16 determines specification of ventricular cardiomyocytes by suppressing alternative cell fates

Life Science Alliance
PRDM16 loss in cardiomyocytes during development causes an atrial and conduction fate shift and distal ventricular conduction system hyperplasia resulting in premature death or cardiac dysfunction.

Ventricular response during lungeing exercise in horses with lone atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2013
Reasons for performing the study Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most important dysrhythmia affecting performance in horses and has been associated with incoordination, collapse and sudden death.

Re‐Awakening Public Attention to the Silent Pandemic of Cancer Among Older Adults in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As global populations age, cancer is increasingly becoming a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among older adults, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Despite accounting for the majority of new cancer cases and deaths, older individuals remain underrepresented in cancer research, clinical guidelines, and health ...

Transient 2:1 Atrioventricular Block with Peri-Conduction System Pacing After Leadless Pacemaker Implantation [PDF]

Texas Heart Institute Journal
This report discusses a case of transient 2:1 atrioventricular block with conduction system pacing 4 hours after leadless right ventricular pacemaker implantation in a 19-year-old patient with a history of cardioinhibitory syncope and asystole cardiac ...

Gap junction reduction in cardiomyocytes following transforming growth factor- beta treatment and Trypanosoma cruzi infection [PDF]

, 2009
Gap junction connexin-43 (Cx43) molecules are responsible for electrical impulse conduction in the heart and are affected by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta).

Prognostic Implications of Sleep Architecture for Patients Admitted to the Intensive Care Unit With Status Epilepticus

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Status epilepticus (SE) is associated with significant mortality. Sleep architecture may reflect normal brain function. Impaired sleep architecture is associated with poorer outcomes in numerous conditions. Here we investigate the association of sleep architecture in continuous EEG (cEEG) with survival in SE.

Value of multi-detector computed tomography in delineation of the normal cardiac conduction system and related anatomic structures

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2016
The cardiac conduction system is responsible for rhythmic myocardial stimulation for physiologic contraction of the heart. Aim of the work: To assess the value of MDCT in outlining anatomic landmarks and variants of conductive system, therefore provides ...

Influence of cardiac tissue anisotropy on re-entrant activation in computational models of ventricular fibrillation

, 2009
The aim of this study was to establish the role played by anisotropic diffusion in (i) the number of filaments and epicardial phase singularities that sustain ventricular fibrillation in the heart, (ii) the lifetimes of filaments and phase singularities,

Anatomic-electrophysiological correlations concerning the pathways for atrioventricular conduction. [PDF]

, 2001
The remarkable success of radiofrequency ablation in recent decades in curing atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardias has intensified efforts to provide a solid theoretical basis for understanding the mechanisms of atrioventricular transmission ...
