A Technique for Conducting Noninvasive Cardiac Electrophysiology Studies in Conscious Swine
A noninvasive method was developed in swine for conducting cardiac electrophysiology (EP) studies without the potential confounding effects of sedatives or anesthetics. Following a 1-week conditioning regimen in the EP laboratory, 1-month-old Hanford miniature swine underwent transvenous pacemaker (PM) implantation under isoflurane anesthesia.

Slow Conduction through an Arc of Block: A Basis for Arrhythmia Formation Post-Myocardial Infarction [PDF]
Introduction The electrophysiologic basis for characteristic rate-dependent, constant-late-coupled (390 + 54 milliseconds) premature ventricular beats (PVBs) present 4–5 days following coronary artery occlusion were examined in 108 anesthetized dogs.

Arrhythmias After Tetralogy of Fallot Repair [PDF]
Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease, with a good outcome after total surgical correction. In spite of a low perioperative mortality and a good quality of life, late sudden death remains a significant clinical problem,

Restricting excessive cardiac action potential and QT prolongation: a vital role for IKs in human ventricular muscle [PDF]
Background - Although pharmacological block of the slow, delayed rectifier potassium current (I-Ks) by chromanol 293B, L-735,821, or HMR-1556 produces little effect on action potential duration (APD) in isolated rabbit and dog ventricular myocytes, the ...

Reduced Muscular Carnosine in Proximal Myotonic Myopathy—A Pilot 1H‐MRS Study
ABSTRACT Objective Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (proximal myotonic myopathy, PROMM) is a progressive multisystem disorder with muscular symptoms (proximal weakness, pain, myotonia) and systemic manifestations such as diabetes mellitus, cataracts, and cardiac arrhythmias.
