Atrial fibrillation (AF) leads to remodeling characterized by changes in both size and shape of the left atrium (LA). Here we aimed to study the effect of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) on the pattern of LA remodeling in AF-patients. HCM-patients (n =

Safe electrophysiologic profile of dexmedetomidine in different experimental arrhythmia models
Previous studies suggest an impact of dexmedetomidine on cardiac electrophysiology. However, experimental data is sparse. Therefore, purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of dexmedetomidine on different experimental models of ...

Proteomic and functional analysis of HDL subclasses in humans and rats: a proof-of-concept study
Background The previous study investigated whether the functions of small, medium, and large high density lipoprotein (S/M/L-HDL) are correlated with protein changes in mice. Herein, the proteomic and functional analyses of high density lipoprotein (HDL)

Laser-assisted Cellular Electrophysiology Measurement System [PDF]
Patch-clamp technique is the gold standard for cellular electrophysiological measurements, which is capable of measuring single ion transport events across the cell membrane. However, the measurement possesses significant complexity, and it requires a high level of expertise, while its experimental throughput is nevertheless considerably low.

A fast computational model for the electrophysiology of the whole human heart [PDF]
In this study we present a novel computational model for unprecedented simulations of the whole cardiac electrophysiology. According to the heterogeneous electrophysiologic properties of the heart, the whole cardiac geometry is decomposed into a set of coupled conductive media having different topology and electrical conductivities: (i) a network of ...

Lidocaine as an anti‐arrhythmic drug: Are there any indications left?
Lidocaine is classified as a class Ib anti‐arrhythmic that blocks voltage‐ and pH‐dependent sodium channels. It exhibits well investigated anti‐arrhythmic effects and has been the anti‐arrhythmic of choice for the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias for
