Ventricular response during lungeing exercise in horses with lone atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2013
Reasons for performing the study Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most important dysrhythmia affecting performance in horses and has been associated with incoordination, collapse and sudden death.

Engineering a conduction-consistent cardiac patch with rGO/PLCL electrospun nanofibrous membranes and human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
The healthy human heart has special directional arrangement of cardiomyocytes and a unique electrical conduction system, which is critical for the maintenance of effective contractions.

The cardiac sodium channel displays differential distribution in the conduction system and transmural heterogeneity in the murine ventricular myocardium [PDF]

, 2009
Cardiac sodium channels are responsible for conduction in the normal and diseased heart. We aimed to investigate regional and transmural distribution of sodium channel expression and function in the myocardium.

The effects of repetitive electric cardiac stimulation in dogs with normal hearts, complete heart block and experimental cardiac arrest [PDF]

, 1955
Direct cardiac stimulation was conducted in the open chest. In normal animals, auricular stimulation at frequencies faster than the spontaneous rate caused little change in vascular pressures or cardiac output.

Atrial fibrillation and electrophysiology in transgenic mice with cardiac-restricted overexpression of FKBP12 [PDF]

, 2019
Cardiomyocyte-restricted overexpression of FK506-binding protein 12 transgenic (αMyHC-FKBP12) mice develop spontaneous atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of the present study is to explore the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of AF in αMyHC-FKBP12 ...

Regulation of Cardiac Conduction and Arrhythmias by Ankyrin/Spectrin-Based Macromolecular Complexes

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021
The cardiac conduction system is an extended network of excitable tissue tasked with generation and propagation of electrical impulses to signal coordinated contraction of the heart.

Nonlinear physics of electrical wave propagation in the heart: a review [PDF]

, 2016
The beating of the heart is a synchronized contraction of muscle cells (myocytes) that are triggered by a periodic sequence of electrical waves (action potentials) originating in the sino-atrial node and propagating over the atria and the ventricles ...

Feasibility and Efficacy of His Bundle Pacing or Left Bundle Pacing Combined With Atrioventricular Node Ablation in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation and Implantable Cardioverter‐Defibrillator Therapy

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Persistent atrial fibrillation may lead to a higher probability of inappropriate shocks in heart failure patients with an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of His‐Purkinje conduction
