Development and Function of the Cardiac Conduction System in Health and Disease [PDF]
The generation and propagation of the cardiac impulse is the central function of the cardiac conduction system (CCS). Impulse initiation occurs in nodal tissues that have high levels of automaticity, but slow conduction properties. Rapid impulse propagation is a feature of the ventricular conduction system, which is essential for synchronized ...

Conduction System Pacing Versus Conventional Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Congenital Heart Disease [PDF]
Dyssynchrony-associated left ventricular systolic dysfunction is a major contributor to heart failure in congenital heart disease (CHD). Although conventional cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has shown benefit, the comparative efficacy of cardiac conduction system pacing (CSP) is unknown.The purpose of this study was compare the clinical ...

Rare SCN10A variants associated with cardiac conduction system diseases [PDF]
Abstract Background The genetic bases of cardiac conduction-system disease (CCSD) range from ion channelopathies to mutations in many other genes. Genome-wide association studies have shown common variants in SCN10A influence cardiac conduction.

Impact of functional studies on exome sequence variant interpretation in early-onset cardiac conduction system diseases [PDF]
Abstract Aims The genetic cause of cardiac conduction system disease (CCSD) has not been fully elucidated. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) can detect various genetic variants; however, the identification of pathogenic variants remains a challenge.

We present the case of PRKAG2 cardiac syndrome, a rare autosomal-dominant genetic disease characterized by peculiar clinical and electrophysiological abnormalities. We clearly show through the images the peculiar clinical features that should raise suspicion of a mutant PRKAG2 gene. Indeed, together with an accurate clinical and instrumental evaluation,

Rapidly Progressive Cardiac Manifestation of Behçet's Disease Involving Conduction System and Aortic Valve [PDF]
Cardiac conduction system impairment is a rare clinical manifestation of Behçet's disease. We report a patient who showed 1st degree atrioventricular block at first presentation, and showed aggravated finding of 3rd degree atrioventricular block on five months later.

Lamin A/C haploinsufficiency causes dilated cardiomyopathy and apoptosis-triggered cardiac conduction system disease [PDF]
Mutations in the lamin A/C (LMNA) gene, which encodes nuclear membrane proteins, cause a variety of human conditions including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with associated cardiac conduction system disease. To investigate mechanisms responsible for electrophysiologic and myocardial phenotypes caused by dominant human LMNA mutations, we performed ...

Limited effects of long-term enzyme replacement therapy on the cardiac conduction system in Fabry disease [PDF]
The long-term effects of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) on cardiac function and the conduction system in Fabry disease are not clearly understood. We report a case of a 48-year-old man with non-classical Fabry disease treated with ERT for 11 years.
