Identification and functional characterization of cardiac pacemaker cells in zebrafish.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
In the mammalian heart a conduction system of nodes and conducting cells generates and transduces the electrical signals evoking myocardial contractions. Specialized pacemaker cells initiating and controlling cardiac contraction rhythmicity are localized

ECG Paper Digitization and R Peaks Detection Using FFT

open access: yesApplied Computational Intelligence and Soft Computing, 2022
An electrocardiogram (ECG) uses electrodes to monitor the heart rhythm and identify minute electrical changes that occur with each beat. It is employed to investigate particular varieties of aberrant heart activity, such as arrhythmias and conduction ...

Simultaneous assessment of mechanical and electrical function in Langendorff-perfused ex-vivo mouse hearts

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundThe Langendorff-perfused ex-vivo isolated heart model has been extensively used to study cardiac function for many years. However, electrical and mechanical function are often studied separately—despite growing proof of a complex electro ...

Gap junction reduction in cardiomyocytes following transforming growth factor- beta treatment and Trypanosoma cruzi infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Gap junction connexin-43 (Cx43) molecules are responsible for electrical impulse conduction in the heart and are affected by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta).

Conduction defects and arrhythmias in mdx mice are not associated with a degeneration of the cardiac Purkinje network

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe X-chromosomal disease characterised by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration. Cardiac involvement is inevitable in DMD patients and ventricular arrhythmias are a high-risk factor for mortality in these

Transventricular Left Bundle Branch Pacing

open access: yesУкраїнський журнал серцево-судинної хірургії, 2022
Background. Implementation of conduction system permanent pacing methods in patients with cardiac bradyarrhythmias allows to maintain the physiological sequence of excitation and contraction of the ventricles and to avoid the development of heart failure

Hardware implementation for cardiac electrical excitation and conduction using an FPGA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Contraction of the heart is controlled by electrical excitations of cardiac cell membranes. The electrical excitations of the cells and their propagation in the heart tissue provide a basis of the physiological function of the heart through the cardiac ...

Microfluidic electro‐viscoelastic manipulation of extracellular vesicles

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The electro‐viscoelastic manipulation as a potential method for separation of particles based on size. The particles introduced as a sheath flow migrate to the channel center under the influence of simultaneously applied electric field and pressure driven flow.

The Functional and Imaging Implications of Left Bundle Branch Pacing in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

open access: yesBiomolecules
Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction due to ischemic cardiomyopathy remains a significant clinical challenge. Electrical conduction delays exacerbate symptoms by causing uncoordinated contractions, reducing pumping efficiency, and increasing ...
