Attenuation of Post-Shock Increases in Brain Natriuretic Peptide with Post Shock Overdrive Pacing [PDF]
, 2010 Background: Predischarge defibrillation threshold testing is often performed a few days after ICD implantation in order to validate defibrillation thresholds obtained at the time of implant.

Estimation of Parameters for an Archetypal Model of Cardiomyocyte Membrane Potentials [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Contemporary realistic mathematical models of single-cell cardiac electrical excitation are immensely detailed. Model complexity leads to parameter uncertainty, high computational cost and barriers to mechanistic understanding. There is a need for reduced models that are conceptually and mathematically simple but physiologically accurate.

Cardiac parasympathetic modulation in the setting of radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation
Archives of Medical Science, 2019 The cardiac autonomic nervous system plays an important role in the genesis and maintenance of atrial fibrillation. Although, pulmonary vein isolation is the cornerstone in today’s approach to atrial fibrillation ablation, a considerable proportion of ...

Cardiac Alternans Arising from an Unfolded Border-Collision Bifurcation [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 Following an electrical stimulus, the transmembrane voltage of cardiac tissue rises rapidly and remains at a constant value before returning to the resting value, a phenomenon known as an action potential. When the pacing rate of a periodic train of stimuli is increased above a critical value, the action potential undergoes a period-doubling ...

Clinical EpigeneticsBackground Telomere length (TL) serves as a pivotal gauge of cellular aging, with shorter TL linked to various age-related ailments. Recently, a DNA methylation-based TL estimator, known as DNAmTL, has emerged as a novel TL measurement tool.

Mechanism of Discordant Alternans in Spatially Homogeneous Tissue [PDF]
arXiv, 2000 Discordant alternans,the phenomenon of 2 separate cardiac tissue locations exhibiting action potential duration (APD) alternans of opposite phase, appears to be a potential mechanism for electrocardiographic T wave alternans, but its initiation mechanism is unknown. We studied behavior of one- and two- dimensional cardiac tissue spatially homogenous in
