Pacemaker Prevention Therapy in Drug–refractory Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Reliability of Diagnostics and Effectiveness of Prevention Pacing Therapy in Vitatron™ Selection® device [PDF]

, 2006
Introduction. Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common and rising disorder of cardiac rhythm, is quite difficult to control and/or to treat. Non pharmacological therapies for AF may involve the use of dedicated pacing algorithms to detect and prevent ...

An open‐label, single‐arm, dose‐escalating concentration–QT study to investigate the cardiac effects and safety of paroxetine in healthy adults

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), approved for treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders. Some SSRIs are known to prolong the QT interval; however, clinical evidence to establish a lack of association between paroxetine and corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation is limited. Therefore, this

Genetic Implications of Fatty Tissue for the Development of Ventricular Arrhythmias

Cardiogenetics
Ventricular arrhythmias are a common disorder, and sometimes the etiology remains unclear. Present data support cardiac fatty tissue’s potential role as a substrate for ventricular arrhythmias.

Echocardiography and cardiac arrhythmias

Hellenic Journal of Cardiology, 2018
Cardiac arrhythmias refer to any abnormality or disturbance in the normal activation sequence of the myocardium and may be indicative of structural heart disease and the cause of significant cardiovascular complications and sudden cardiac death.

Cardiac arrhythmias during long-duration spaceflights

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2014
Few studies have investigated cardiac arrhythmias during spaceflight. Atrial and ventricular premature contractions, short-duration atrial fibrillation, and non-sustained ventricular tachycardia were reported by previous spaceflight programs.

Role of Catheter Ablation in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia [PDF]

, 2005
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by frequent ventricular tachycardia originating from the right ventricle and fibro-fatty replacement of right ventricular myocardium. Though the disorder was originally

Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...

Endomyocardial Fibrosis Associated With Hypereosinophilic Syndrome: Diagnostic and Management Insights From a Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare form of restrictive cardiomyopathy associated with eosinophilic disorders, characterized by apical subendocardial fibrosis and thrombus formation. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) provides a comprehensive, noninvasive evaluation, enabling diagnosis, assessment of disease activity, and guidance of therapy.

Analysis of 24-h Rhythm in Ventricular Repolarization Identifies QT Diurnality As a Novel Clinical Parameter Associated with Previous Ventricular Arrhythmias in Heart Failure Patients

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Introduction: Cardiac repolarization abnormalities are among the major causes of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. In humans, cardiac repolarization duration has a 24-h rhythm.
