Genetic Complexity of Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction [PDF]
The pacemaker cells of the cardiac sinoatrial node (SAN) are essential for normal cardiac automaticity. Dysfunction in cardiac pacemaking results in human sinoatrial node dysfunction (SND).

Neonatal Scn1b-null mice have sinoatrial node dysfunction, altered atrial structure, and atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Loss-of-function (LOF) variants in SCN1B, encoding the voltage-gated sodium channel β1/β1B subunits, are linked to neurological and cardiovascular diseases. Scn1b-null mice have spontaneous seizures and ventricular arrhythmias and die by approximately 21

Insulin mitigates acute ischemia–induced atrial fibrillation and sinoatrial node dysfunction ex vivo [PDF]
Acute atrial ischemia is a well-known cause of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). However, mechanisms through which ischemia contributes to the development of POAF are not well understood.

Atrial fibrillation, sinoatrial and atrioventricular node dysfunction in a mouse model of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
Millions of people are affected by atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), two disorders frequently found simultaneously. However, the interrelationship between these intertwined disorders is poorly understood,

Digenic heterozygous mutations of KCNH2 and SCN5A induced young and early‐onset long QT syndrome and sinoatrial node dysfunction [PDF]
Introduction Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a life‐threatening inherited channelopathy, and prolonged QT intervals easily trigger malignant arrhythmias, especially torsades de pointes and ventricular fibrillation.

Transient sinoatrial node dysfunction after pulsed-field pulmonary vein ablation: an image case report [PDF]
Pulmonary vein pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is widely regarded as a safe procedure for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), with sinoatrial disturbances as a rare complication. A 62-year-old female patient with paroxysmal AF underwent ablation using an

Extracardiac Vagal Stimulation-Assisted Cardioneuroablation: Dynamically Evaluating the Impact of Sequential Ganglionated Plexus Ablation on Vagal Control of SAN and AVN in Patients with Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction [PDF]
Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is proposed as a promising therapy for patients with sinoatrial node dysfunction (SND) that is mediated by excessive vagal tone. However, a series of urgent questions about CNA remain unanswered. From December 2020 to March 2022,

Platelet-bioengineered hiPSC-sEVs achieve targeted repair of fibrotic sinoatrial node in preclinical SND models [PDF]
Sinus node dysfunction, a prevalent arrhythmia in aging populations, is characterized by fibrosis and loss of pacemaker activity, necessitating pacemaker implantation. Current therapies fail to reverse the underlying pathology.

Sick Sinus Syndrome and Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Connection or Coincidence? A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]
It has been hypothesized that increased intracranial pressure (ICP) may cause sick sinus syndrome (SSS) due to its effect on vagal discharge to the heart, resulting in disruption to the sinus cycle, despite age-related degeneration of the sinoatrial node
