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

open access: goldJournal 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.

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

open access: bronzeCardiovascular 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.

Conduction System Pacing Versus Conventional Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Congenital Heart Disease [PDF]

open access: greenJACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, 2022
Dyssynchrony-associated left ventricular systolic dysfunction is a major contributor to heart failure in congenital heart disease (CHD). Although conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has shown benefit, the comparative efficacy of cardiac conduction system pacing (CSP) is unknown.The purpose of this study was compare the clinical ...

Rare SCN10A variants associated with cardiac conduction system diseases [PDF]

open access: bronzeEuropean Heart Journal, 2020
Abstract Background The genetic bases of cardiac conduction-system disease (CCSD) range from ion channelopathies to mutations in many other genes. Genome-wide association studies have shown common variants in SCN10A influence cardiac conduction.

Cardiac Hypertrophy, Accessory Pathway, and Conduction System Disease in an Adolescent

open access: greenJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2013
We present the case of PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome, a rare autosomal-dominant genetic disease characterized by peculiar clinical and electrophysiological abnormalities. We clearly show through the images the peculiar clinical features that should raise suspicion of a mutant PRKAG2 gene. Indeed, together with an accurate clinical and instrumental evaluation,

Lamin A/C haploinsufficiency causes dilated cardiomyopathy and apoptosis-triggered cardiac conduction system disease [PDF]

open access: closedJournal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2007
Mutations in the lamin A/C (LMNA) gene, which encodes nuclear membrane proteins, cause a variety of human conditions including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with associated cardiac conduction system disease. To investigate mechanisms responsible for electrophysiologic and myocardial phenotypes caused by dominant human LMNA mutations, we performed ...

Is there an association between Fahr′s disease and cardiac conduction system disease?: A case report

open access: greenJournal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2012
Background: Fahr′s disease is a rare neurodegenerative disorder of unknown cause characterized by idiopathic basal ganglia calcification that is associated with neuropsychiatric and cognitive impairment.
