Giant cell myocarditis masquerading as orbital myositis with a rapid, fulminant course necessitating mechanical support and heart transplantation. [PDF]

, 2017
Giant cell myocarditis (GCM), a rapidly progressive inflammation of the myocardium, is associated with fulminant heart failure, refractory ventricular arrhythmias, and conduction system abnormalities.

Anatomic-electrophysiological correlations concerning the pathways for atrioventricular conduction. [PDF]

, 2001
The remarkable success of radiofrequency ablation in recent decades in curing atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardias has intensified efforts to provide a solid theoretical basis for understanding the mechanisms of atrioventricular transmission ...

Specialized impulse conduction pathway in the alligator heart

eLife, 2018
Mammals and birds have a specialized cardiac atrioventricular conduction system enabling rapid activation of both ventricles. This system may have evolved together with high heart rates to support their endothermic state (warm-bloodedness) and is ...

Impact of functional studies on exome sequence variant interpretation in early-onset cardiac conduction system diseases [PDF]

, 2020
Aims The genetic cause of cardiac conduction system disease (CCSD) has not been fully elucidated. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) can detect various genetic variants; however, the identification of pathogenic variants remains a challenge.

Identifying the evolutionary building blocks of the cardiac conduction system.

PLoS ONE, 2012
The endothermic state of mammals and birds requires high heart rates to accommodate the high rates of oxygen consumption. These high heart rates are driven by very similar conduction systems consisting of an atrioventricular node that slows the ...

Global alternans instability and its effect on non-linear wave propagation : dynamical Wenckebach block and self terminating spiral waves [PDF]

, 2016
The main mechanism of formation of reentrant cardiac arrhythmias is via formation of waveblocks at heterogeneities of cardiac tissue. We report that heterogeneity and the area of waveblock can extend itself in space and can result formation of new ...

Numerical simulation of electrocardiograms for full cardiac cycles in healthy and pathological conditions [PDF]

, 2015
This work is dedicated to the simulation of full cycles of the electrical activity of the heart and the corresponding body surface potential. The model is based on a realistic torso and heart anatomy, including ventricles and atria.
