Mitral Valve Prolapse, Ventricular Arrhythmias, and Sudden Death.
Despite a 2% to 3% prevalence of echocardiographically defined mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in the general population, the actual burden, risk stratification, and treatment of the so-called arrhythmic MVP are unknown. The clinical profile is characterized

A review of alternative measurements in strain imaging for ventricular arrhythmia prediction [PDF]
Global longitudinal strain has been established as a reliable tool to assess global left ventricular function and a marker of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction unrecognized by the ejection fraction.

It is well known that typical antipsychotic drugs have been implicated as a cause of ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac arrest; studies have shown that conventional antipsychotics increase the risk of hospitalization for ventricular arrhythmias or ...

Gene Transfer of Engineered Calmodulin Alleviates Ventricular Arrhythmias in a Calsequestrin-Associated Mouse Model of Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia [PDF]
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a familial arrhythmogenic syndrome characterized by sudden death. There are several genetic forms of CPVT associated with mutations in genes encoding the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2 ...

Introduction. Pharmacotherapy of cardiac arrhythmias is one of the urgent problems of modern medicine. The presence of serious side effects, in particular proarrhythmic action, limits the use of known antiarrhythmics in clinical practice.

Electrocardiographic patch devices and contemporary wireless cardiac monitoring. [PDF]
Cardiac electrophysiologic derangements often coexist with disorders of the circulatory system. Capturing and diagnosing arrhythmias and conduction system disease may lead to a change in diagnosis, clinical management and patient outcomes.

Infusion Needle Radiofrequency Ablation for Treatment of Refractory Ventricular Arrhythmias.
BACKGROUND Catheter ablation is effective for eliminating most drug-refractory ventricular arrhythmias (VA). However, a major reason for procedural failure is arrhythmia originating deep within the myocardium where it is inaccessible to conventional ...

Andersen-Tawil syndrome: report of 3 novel mutations and high risk of symptomatic cardiac involvement. [PDF]
IntroductionAndersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a potassium channelopathy affecting cardiac and skeletal muscle. Periodic paralysis is a presenting symptom in some patients, whereas, in others, symptomatic arrhythmias or prolongation of QT in ...

A comparative study of early afterdepolarization-mediated fibrillation in two mathematical models for human ventricular cells [PDF]
Early afterdepolarizations (EADs), which are abnormal oscillations of the membrane potential at the plateau phase of an action potential, are implicated in the development of cardiac arrhythmias like Torsade de Pointes.
