Tbx18 and the generation of a biological pacemaker. Are we there yet? [PDF]
A group of approximately 10,000 cells in the sinoatrial node (SAN), which is located at the entry of the right superior caval vein into the right atrium, is responsible for regular heart beating under different physiological conditions [1]. While the SAN

Subacute Right Ventricle Perforation by Pacemaker Lead Presenting with Left Hemothorax and Shock
Cardiac perforation by pacemaker is a rare but potentially fatal complication. Acute perforations occurring within twenty-four hours of insertion of pacemaker can lead to hemopericardium, cardiac tamponade, and death.

Leadless pacemaker – A savior in crisis
The current case describes the successful implantation of a leadless pacemaker in an elderly patient with multiple complexities. The patient had an in situ cardiac pacemaker with a suspected displaced right ventricular lead and was stabilized using ...

Complete atrial-specific knockout of sodium-calcium exchange eliminates sinoatrial node pacemaker activity. [PDF]
The origin of sinoatrial node (SAN) pacemaker activity in the heart is controversial. The leading candidates are diastolic depolarization by "funny" current (If) through HCN4 channels (the "Membrane Clock" hypothesis), depolarization by cardiac Na-Ca ...

Direct Powering a Real Cardiac Pacemaker by Natural Energy of a Heartbeat.
Implantable medical devices are widely used for monitoring and treatment of severe diseases. In particular, an implantable cardiac pacemaker is the most effective therapeutic device for treating bradyrhythmia, however its surgical replacement is ...

Abstract Background As previously reported, an increased repolarization temporal imbalance induces a higher risk of total/cardiovascular mortality. Hypothesis The aim of this study was to assess if the electrocardiographic short period markers of repolarization temporal dispersion could be predictive of the hospital stay length and mortality in ...
