A Study of Unusual Pacemaker Infection by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Indian Patients

open access: yesIndian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2014
Background: The expanding clinical indications of cardiac rhythm management have led to an increased use of pacemaker implantation which is associated with increased incidence of pacemaker infections. Staphylococcus aureus and epidermidis account for the

Selectivity Filter Dynamics Define Ion Conductance and Selectivity Differences in CNG and HCN Channels

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cyclic nucleotide‐gated (CNG) and hyperpolarization‐activated cyclic nucleotide‐gated (HCN) channels share substantial sequence and structural similarity but differ markedly in ion conductance and K+ selectivity. Microsecond‐scale atomistic MD simulations qualitatively reproduced the conductance differences observed in single‐channel recordings and ...

Soft, Flexible, and Stretchable Platforms for Tissue‐Interfaced Bioelectronics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bio‐integrated electronics provide mechanically compliant and stable interfaces with soft biological tissues. Representative applications include neural interfaces, wet‐organadhesive electronics, and skin‐interfaced devices. E represents Young´s modulus and ε represents strain.

Brugada Syndrome: New Implications for Heterozygous Carriers of the Pathogenic SCN5A c.689T>C(p.Ile230Thr) Variant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in the SCN5A gene and its subunits have been identified in individuals with Brugada Syndrome. One such SCN5A variant, c.689T>C(p.Ile230Thr), was previously reported as disease‐causing only in homozygous individuals, with heterozygous carriers being unaffected.

Dynamic Cellular Integration Drives Functional Assembly of the Heart’s Pacemaker Complex

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Impulses generated by a multicellular, bioelectric signaling center termed the sinoatrial node (SAN) stimulate the rhythmic contraction of the heart.

Case‐Based Immunology: B Cells and Systemic Sclerosis Interstitial Lung Disease

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc), with high mortality and morbidity. Recent clinical studies in SSc‐ILD have led to US Food and Drug Administration–approved therapies in SSc‐ILD. Importantly, evidence from these studies has been extrapolated to guide management of ILDs of other systemic autoimmune

Genetically engineered cardiac pacemaker: stem cells transfected with HCN2 gene and myocytes - a model

open access: yes, 2005
Artificial biological pacemakers were developed and tested in canine ventricles. Next steps will require obtaining oscillations sensitive to external regulations, and robust with respect to long term drifts of expression levels of pacemaker currents and ...

Influence of Slippery Pacemaker Leads on Lead-Induced Venous Occlusion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The use of medical devices such as pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators have become commonplace to treat arrhythmias. Pacing leads with electrodes are used to send electrical pulses to the heart to treat either abnormally slow heart rates ...

Contemporary and Emerging Therapies in the Management of Refractory Angina: A Clinical Review

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Refractory angina (RA) represents a growing challenge in clinical cardiology, particularly in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy and who are not candidates for revascularization.

Identifying atrial arrhythmias versus pacing-induced rhythm disorders with state-of-the-art cardiac implanted devices

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, 2014
Repetitive non-reentrant ventriculo-atrial synchrony (RNRVAS) is a pacemaker-induced arrhythmia that must be distinguished from atrial fibrillation (AF). Pacemaker-induced arrhythmias are commonly detected as atrial high rate episodes (AHRE) by implanted
