Surgical and Electrical Anatomy of the Inter-Nodal and Intra-Atrial Conduction System in the Heart
Journal of Chest Surgery, 2022 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.

Electrical Conduction System Remodeling in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes Mellitus Rat Heart [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 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 ...

Science DiscoveryThe existing paradigm of cardiac electrophysiology primarily focuses on the intracardiac conduction system and volume conduction through interstitial fluid to explain the electrocardiogram (ECG). However, this model faces limitations in fully elucidating the precise capture of phasic electrical signals at the cutaneous surface. This short communication

Surgical Outcomes of Congenital Heart Disease in Down Syndrome: Tertiary Center Experience—Focus on the Electrical Conduction System [PDF]
Pediatric Cardiology, 2022 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.

Direct reprogramming of cardiomyocytes into cardiac Purkinje-like cells
iScience, 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 ...

Case report: Challenges and implications of conduction system pacing in pediatrics: Case series
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023 Cardiac electrical stimulation in children usually is needed in the setting of complete congenital atrioventricular block, atrioventricular block after heart surgery, and bradycardia associated with some specific channelopathies.

Connexin diversity in the heart: insights from transgenic mouse models
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2013 Cardiac conduction is mediated by gap junction channels that are formed by connexin (Cx) protein subunits. The connexin family of proteins consists of 24 members, varying in their biophysical properties and ability to combine with other connexins into ...
