Cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure – Beyond the standard
Cardiac resynchronization therapy device (CRT- defibrillator and CRT-pacemaker) implantations have increased remarkably over the last decade. Conventionally these devices are used in patients with symptomatic systolic left ventricular (LV) dysfunction ...

Background: Accelerated ventricular response is frequently observed during radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). We hypothesized that acceleration indicates an appropriate site and adequate injury to the arrhythmogenic ...

The effects of right ventricular apical pacing on left ventricular function. Stimulation of the right ventricular apex: should it still be the gold standard? [PDF]
Current pacing practice is undergoing continuous and substantial changes. Initially pacing had an exclusively palliative role, since it was reserved for patients developing complete heart block or severe symptomatic bradycardia.

Sequential His bundle and left ventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization
Fusion of left ventricular pacing with intrinsic conduction provides superior resynchronization compared to biventricular pacing. His bundle pacing (HBP) preserves intrinsic conduction and allows for constant fusion with left ventricular pacing.

Conduction system pacing (CSP) has emerged as a more physiological alternative to right ventricular pacing and is also being used in selected cases for cardiac resynchronization therapy. His bundle pacing was first introduced over two decades ago and its

Compression‐Tension‐Asymmetry and Stiffness Nonlinearity of Collagen‐Matrigel Composite Hydrogels
Self‐assembled collagen hydrogel matrices are widely used in tissue engineering applications. These matrices stiffen and contract laterally under tension due to fiber alignment and soften and collapse under compression due to fiber buckling. It is demonstrated that filler materials, such as Matrigel, linearize the mechanical behavior of collagen ...

Techniques for Identification of Left Ventricular Asynchrony for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Heart Failure [PDF]
The most recent treatment option of medically refractory heart failure includes cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) by biventricular pacing in selected patients in NYHA functional class III or IV heart failure. The widely used marker to indicate left

Effects of early afterdepolarizations on excitation patterns in an accurate model of the human ventricles [PDF]
Early Afterdepolarizations, EADs, are defined as the reversal of the action potential before completion of the repolarization phase, which can result in ectopic beats.
