Development and Function of the Cardiac Conduction System in Health and Disease [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2017
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.

Prevalence of cardiac fibrosis and infiltrative cardiomyopathy in patients with advanced conduction system disease

Journal of Arrhythmia
Background Conduction system disease may represent an early manifestation of underlying structural heart disease, including infiltrative disorders.

Impact of functional studies on exome sequence variant interpretation in early-onset cardiac conduction system diseases [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2020
Aims The genetic cause of cardiac conduction system disease (CCSD) has not been fully elucidated. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) can detect various genetic variants; however, the identification of pathogenic variants remains a challenge.

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.

Electrocardiographic Patch Devices and Contemporary Wireless Cardiac Monitoring [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2015
Cardiac electrophysiologic derangements often coexist with disorders of the circulatory system. Capturing and diagnosing arrhythmias and conduction system disease may lead to a change in diagnosis, clinical management and patient outcomes.

Incidence of carditis and predictors of pacemaker implantation in patients hospitalized with Lyme disease

PLoS ONE, 2021
Background Lyme carditis, defined as direct infection of cardiac tissue by Borrelia bacteria, affects up to 10% of patients with Lyme disease. The most frequently reported clinical manifestation of Lyme carditis is cardiac conduction system disease.

Regulation of Cardiac Conduction and Arrhythmias by Ankyrin/Spectrin-Based Macromolecular Complexes

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021
The cardiac conduction system is an extended network of excitable tissue tasked with generation and propagation of electrical impulses to signal coordinated contraction of the heart.

Genetic and physiologic dissection of the vertebrate cardiac conduction system. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2008
Vertebrate hearts depend on highly specialized cardiomyocytes that form the cardiac conduction system (CCS) to coordinate chamber contraction and drive blood efficiently and unidirectionally throughout the organism.

Left Bundle Branch Pacing in Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis and Alternating Bundle Branch Block

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Progressive conduction system disease affects patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, often requiring permanent pacing as the His-Purkinje system is affected. We present a case of left bundle branch pacing in a patient with transthyretin cardiac
