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

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 ...

Catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation using the CARTO 3 mapping system
The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2015 Ventricular fibrillation in the absence of structural heart disease represents an important mechanism of sudden cardiac death. It is initiated by triggers originating in the distal Purkinje fibers, arising from either the right or the left ventricle ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and N-terminal probrain sodium-uretic peptid level in patients with atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Medičnì Perspektivi, 2013 In our study 100 consecutive non-valvular permanent atrial fibrillation patients with NYHA I – III heart failure, 43 - 86 years old (65 men and 35 women) were examined. Control group consisted of 30 patients with arterial hypertension and coronary artery
