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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...
