A rhesus macaque model of α‐dystroglycanopathy caused by a POMT1 splice altering variant
Rhesus macaques homozygous for a naturally occurring spice altering variant in the POMT1 gene develop lissencephaly, microphthalmia, and muscular contracture. The presentation models severe presentation of the human Walker‐Warburg syndrome. Abstract Background Biallelic mutations in genes associated with α‐dystroglycan glycosylation manifest in a ...

Silk fibroin is an attractive natural biomaterial that can be engineered into diverse cardiovascular constructs, including vascular grafts, cardiac patches, heart valves, and stent coatings. Its tunable biological and mechanical properties have driven substantial preclinical progress; however, widespread clinical translation in cardiovascular ...

Frequency analysis of premature ventricular contraction using 3-DMCG measurements [PDF]
The authors carried out three-dimensional (3-D) vector measurements of the magnetocardiogram (MCG) on a subject with premature ventricular contraction (PVC) and ten normal subjects using a 39-channel SQUID system.

Classification of Arrhythmia by Using Deep Learning with 2-D ECG Spectral Image Representation
The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most extensively employed signals used in the diagnosis and prediction of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The ECG signals can capture the heart’s rhythmic irregularities, commonly known as arrhythmias.

Visualization of Minute Mechanical-Excitation/Relaxation Wave-front Propagation in Myocardial Tissue [PDF]
Unlike the case of skeletal muscle, the direction of myocardial contraction does not coincide with the direction of work necessary to eject the intraventricular blood, contributing to great complexity of the wall deformation sequence of cardiac ...

Aims This study aimed to evaluate the acute effects of cannabidiol plus tetrahydrocannabinol (CBD+THC) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) oils on cardiovascular haemodynamics, respiratory muscle activity and peripheral tissue perfusion in healthy adults. Methods In this randomized, double‐blind, crossover trial, participants received orally administered ...

The evolution of supraventricular and ventricular premature beats in children [PDF]
Background. Supraventricular premature beats represent premature activation of the atria from a site other than the sinus node and can originate from the atria, a premature ventricular beats is caused by an ectopic cardiac pacemaker located in the ...

Ablation of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation targeting short coupled ventricular premature contractions originating from a right ventricular papillary muscle [PDF]
We describe a 38-year-old male who experienced several episodes of syncope after having ventricular fibrillation. The electrocardiographic monitoring after his hospitalization revealed repetitive polymorphic ventricular tachycardias.

Use of Catheter Ablation in the Treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia Triggered by Premature Ventricular Contraction [PDF]
A 50-year-old man who had suffered from old myocardial infarction presented with an episode of syncope. DC shock was required for the interruption of frequent pleomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT).
