Cardiac hypertrophy, accessory pathway, and conduction system disease in an adolescent: the PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome.

Journal 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,

Genetic and physiologic dissection of the vertebrate cardiac conduction system.

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.

Autopsy for Medical Diagnostics: Finding the Cause of Sudden Unexpected Death through Investigation of the Cardiac Conduction System by Serial Sections

Diagnostics, 2023
Sudden unexpected death (SUD) is a fatal event that occurs in an apparently healthy subject in a way that such an abrupt outcome could have not been predicted.

High resolution 3-Dimensional imaging of the human cardiac conduction system from microanatomy to mathematical modeling

Scientific Reports, 2017
Cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disturbances are accompanied by structural remodelling of the specialised cardiomyocytes known collectively as the cardiac conduction system.

Predictive factors of atrioventricular conduction disorders [PDF]

Romanian Medical Journal
Atrioventricular conduction disorders represent an alteration in the normal function of the heart’s electrical conduction system, a system that connects the atria and ventricles through the atrio-ventricular node and the His-Purkinje system. Consequently,

Rapidly Progressive Cardiac Manifestation of Behçet's Disease Involving Conduction System and Aortic Valve [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2011
Cardiac conduction system impairment is a rare clinical manifestation of Behçet's disease. We report a patient who showed 1st degree atrioventricular block at first presentation, and showed aggravated finding of 3rd degree atrioventricular block on five months later.

Limited effects of long-term enzyme replacement therapy on the cardiac conduction system in Fabry disease [PDF]

Journal of Cardiology Cases, 2018
The long-term effects of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) on cardiac function and the conduction system in Fabry disease are not clearly understood. We report a case of a 48-year-old man with non-classical Fabry disease treated with ERT for 11 years.

Sensitivity and Specificity of Cardiac Tissue Discrimination Using Fiber-Optics Confocal Microscopy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Disturbances of the cardiac conduction system constitute a major risk after surgical repair of complex cases of congenital heart disease. Intraoperative identification of the conduction system may reduce the incidence of these disturbances. We previously
