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

Elimination of Purkinje Fibers by Electroporation Reduces Ventricular Fibrillation Vulnerability
Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018 Background The Purkinje network appears to play a pivotal role in the triggering as well as maintenance of ventricular fibrillation. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) using direct current has shown promise as a nonthermal ablation modality in the heart,

Long QT syndrome provoked by induction of general anesthesia -A case report- [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2010 Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an arrhythmogenic cardiovascular disorder resulting from mutations in cardiac ion channels. LQTS is characterized by prolonged ventricular repolarization and frequently manifests itself as QT interval prolongation on the ...

Modern clinical retrospective on ventricular rhythm disturbances in acute myocardial infarction: Latest treatment mode according to the valid recommendations [PDF]
Hospital Pharmacology, 2015 Ventricular arrhythmias are the most common cause of mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Arrhythmias in acute coronary syndrome occur because of unbalanced function of the autonomic nervous system, because of electrolyte status ...
