Cardiac Arrhythmias In Congenital Heart Diseases
Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2009 Arrhythmias figure prominently among the complications encountered in the varied and diverse population of patients with congenital heart disease, and are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The incidence generally increases as the patient ages,

Revolutionizing cardiovascular medicine: targeted therapies for the cardiac conduction system
The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2022 Arrhythmogenic cardiovascular disorders are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Whether cardiac conduction disease is caused by genetic defects, procedural perturbations, valvular disease, ischemia, aging, or heart failure, new ...

A concise review on the anatomy of the atrioventricular node in mammals [PDF]
The Iranian Journal of Veterinary Science and Technology, 2009 Cardiac conduction system enables the heart to pulsate continuously by producing electric impulse and conducting it. As the anatomical information about cardiac conduction system in human being and other mammals needed in various fields of sciences, such

Evolution of the Sinus Venosus from Fish to Human
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2014 The sinus venosus, the cardiac chamber upstream of the (right) atrium, is a severely underinvestigated structure. Yet, its myocardium harbors the cardiac pacemaker in all vertebrates.

The atrioventricular conducting system of the avian heart.
The Japanese Journal of Veterinary Science, 1985 The atrioventricular (AV) conducting system of the heart was histologically investigated in 14 species in 9 orders of aves. The main part of the AV conducting system in aves was fundamentally similar to that in mammals, but the avian AV bundle was longer than the mammalian one and its left and right limbs had no branches crossing the ventricular ...

Prolonged PR interval, first-degree heart block and adverse cardiovascular outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
, 2016 Objective: First-degree atrioventricular block is frequently encountered in clinical practice and is generally considered a benign process. However, there is emerging evidence that prolonged PR interval may be associated with adverse outcomes. This study
