An endogenous cholinergic system controls electrical conduction in the heart. [PDF]
Abstract Background and Aims The cholinergic system is distributed in the nervous system, mediating electrical conduction through acetylcholine (ACh). This study aims to identify whether the heart possesses an intact endogenous cholinergic system and to explore its electrophysiological functions and ...

Surgical and Electrical Anatomy of the Inter-Nodal and Intra-Atrial Conduction System in the Heart
An anatomical understanding of the atrial myocardium is crucial for surgeons and interventionists who treat atrial arrhythmias. We reviewed the anatomy of the inter-nodal and intra-atrial conduction systems. The anterior inter-nodal route (#1) arises from the sinus node and runs through the ventral wall of the atrial chambers. The major branch of route

Electrical Conduction System Remodeling in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes Mellitus Rat Heart [PDF]
Cardiovascular complications are common in type 1 diabetes mellitus (TIDM) and there is an increased risk of arrhythmias as a result of dysfunction of the cardiac conduction system (CCS). We have previously shown that, in vivo, there is a decrease in the heart rate and prolongation of the QRS complex in streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic rats ...

Surgical Outcomes of Congenital Heart Disease in Down Syndrome: Tertiary Center Experience—Focus on the Electrical Conduction System [PDF]
Abstract Purpose: To document outcomes of cardiac surgical repair in Down syndrome (DS) patients with specific focus on the associated electrical conduction morbidities, ultimately leading to a higher incidence of pacemaker implantation (PMI). Methods: A retrospective study conducted between 2011 to 2020.

In the article the excitatory irradiation in the electrical conduction system was numerically modeled. The overview of transmembrane potential of electrical conduction system was given. The Luo-Rudi model (2011) was chosen for the investigation. A finite element model of the electrical conduction system was built in which the latter was regarded as a ...

Biventricular pacing (BiVP) has been the cornerstone of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in the management of symptomatic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and electrical dyssynchrony despite guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT).

Modeling the Heart as a Communication System [PDF]
Electrical communication between cardiomyocytes can be perturbed during arrhythmia, but these perturbations are not captured by conventional electrocardiographic metrics.

Electrical activation of the ventricular myocardium of the crocodile Crocodylus johnstoni: A combined microscopic and electrophysiological study [PDF]
We mapped the sequence of ventricular depolarization in the crocodile Crocodylus johnstoni. We also attempted to find specialized conduction tissue within the ventricular myocardium.
