Predictive factors of atrioventricular conduction disorders [PDF]
Romanian Medical JournalAtrioventricular 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,

Electrocardiographic Effects of Cholinesterase Inhibitors in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease
Namık Kemal Tıp Dergisi, 2022 Aim:Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs), such as donepezil and rivastigmine, are used safely in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the effects of these drugs on the cardiac conduction system are not clear.

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

The effects of repetitive electric cardiac stimulation in dogs with normal hearts, complete heart block and experimental cardiac arrest [PDF]
, 1955 Direct cardiac stimulation was conducted in the open chest. In normal animals, auricular stimulation at frequencies faster than the spontaneous rate caused little change in vascular pressures or cardiac output.
