Cardiac Conduction Velocity, Remodeling and Arrhythmogenesis [PDF]

Cells, 2021
Cardiac electrophysiological disorders, in particular arrhythmias, are a key cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. There are two basic requirements for arrhythmogenesis: an underlying substrate and a trigger. Altered conduction velocity (

Axonal Conduction Velocity Measurement

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Action potential conduction velocity is the speed at which an action potential (AP) propagates along an axon. Measuring AP conduction velocity is instrumental in determining neuron health, function, and computational capability, as well as in determining

Usefulness of ratio of motor nerve conduction velocity to F-wave conduction velocity in diabetic neuropathy

National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2014
Background: Diabetic poly neuropathy, a common complication of diabetes, is diagnosed by symptoms, signs, physical examination, nerve conduction studies, and other neuro-physiological methods. Although nerve conduction studies are useful in the diagnosis

Determinants of myocardial conduction velocity: implications for arrhythmogenesis.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
Slowed myocardial conduction velocity (θ) is associated with an increased risk of re-entrant excitation, predisposing to cardiac arrhythmia. θ is determined by the ion channel and physical properties of cardiac myocytes and by their interconnections ...

Influence of aging on nerve conduction properties in healthy individuals: A cross-sectional study

National Journal of Physiology, Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2022
Background: Nerve conduction study (NCS) is the most sensitive test to measure electrical activity in peripheral nerve. The conduction velocity of the nerve depends on physiological factors such as age, gender, temperature, and height.

Diagnostic value of F-response in the localization of the level of the lesion of peripheral motor neuron [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2003
F-wave is a secondary muscle response, which occurs by antidromic activation of the limited number of alphamotoneurons. Based on M- and F-response and the nerve length, the conduction time, conduction velocity, and the ratio of F-response can be ...

Heart rate‐corrected QT interval: A novel diagnostic biomarker for diabetic peripheral neuropathy

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, 2022
Aims/Introduction To explore the relationship between heart rate‐corrected QT (QTc) interval and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), and whether QTc interval has diagnostic utility for DPN beyond nerve conduction velocity. Materials and Methods A total
