Genetic and physiologic dissection of the vertebrate cardiac conduction system. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2008
Vertebrate hearts depend on highly specialized cardiomyocytes that form the cardiac conduction system (CCS) to coordinate chamber contraction and drive blood efficiently and unidirectionally throughout the organism.

Cardiac conduction system- A detailed study in 46 cases of sudden death

open access: yesJournal of Pathology of Nepal, 2015
Background: Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is the modern pandemic and is said to be responsible for a major chunk of sudden cardiac deaths. However, in few cases; especially among the young, conduction system abnormalities were found to be the ...

High resolution 3-Dimensional imaging of the human cardiac conduction system from microanatomy to mathematical modeling [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disturbances are accompanied by structural remodelling of the specialised cardiomyocytes known collectively as the cardiac conduction system.

Left Bundle Branch Pacing in Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis and Alternating Bundle Branch Block

open access: yesJACC: Case Reports, 2020
Progressive conduction system disease affects patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, often requiring permanent pacing as the His-Purkinje system is affected. We present a case of left bundle branch pacing in a patient with transthyretin cardiac

Direct reprogramming of cardiomyocytes into cardiac Purkinje-like cells

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: Currently, there are no treatments that ameliorate cardiac cell death, the underlying basis of cardiovascular disease. An unexplored cell type in cardiac regeneration is cardiac Purkinje cells; specialized cells from the cardiac conduction ...

Rare SCN10A variants associated with cardiac conduction system diseases [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2020
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.

Engineering a conduction-consistent cardiac patch with rGO/PLCL electrospun nanofibrous membranes and human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
The healthy human heart has special directional arrangement of cardiomyocytes and a unique electrical conduction system, which is critical for the maintenance of effective contractions.

Desmin variants: Trigger for cardiac arrhythmias?

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Desmin (DES) is a classical type III intermediate filament protein encoded by the DES gene. Desmin is abundantly expressed in cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells.

Identification of heart rate-associated loci and their effects on cardiac conduction and rhythm disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Elevated resting heart rate is associated with greater risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. In a 2-stage meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in up to 181,171 individuals, we identified 14 new loci associated with heart rate and ...

Neonatal Deletion of Hand1 and Hand2 within Murine Cardiac Conduction System Reveals a Novel Role for HAND2 in Rhythm Homeostasis

open access: yes, 2022
The cardiac conduction system, a network of specialized cells, is required for the functioning of the heart. The basic helix loop helix factors Hand1 and Hand2 are required for cardiac morphogenesis and have been implicated in cardiac conduction system ...
