Racing hearts in the ED: When atrial tachyarrhythmias Herald hidden culprits

JEM Reports
Background: Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in the general population. Patients with atrial fibrillations commonly go to Emergency Departments (ED) with complications or aggravation of symptoms.

Discordant Alternans as a Mechanism for Initiation of Ventricular Fibrillation In Vitro

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background Ventricular tachyarrhythmias are often preceded by short sequences of premature ventricular complexes. In a previous study, a restitution‐based computational model predicted which sequences of stimulated premature complexes were most likely to

Management of sudden cardiac death in cardiac sarcoidosis using the wearable cardioverter defibrillator. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Patients with cardiac sarcoidosis are at increased risk of ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation.We tested the hypothesis that the wearable cardioverter defibrillator can be used to mitigate the risk of sudden cardiac death among cardiac sarcoidosis ...

Pulseless Electrical Activity as the Initial Cardiac Arrest Rhythm: Importance of Preexisting Left Ventricular Function

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is a common initial rhythm in cardiac arrest. A substantial number of PEA arrests are caused by coronary ischemia in the setting of acute coronary occlusion, but the underlying mechanism is not well ...

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 ...

Leucine‐Dependent SLC7A5–PGAM5 Interaction Promotes Advanced Atherosclerosis Through Hindering Mitochondrial Function of Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Higher plasma leucine is associated with increased risk of new‐onset myocardial infarction. Leucine deprivation alleviates advanced atherosclerosis in mice. Tumor‐induced leucine deprivation reprograms macrophage metabolism and increases CD5Lhi macrophages in mouse plaques. Mechanistically, leucine deficiency reduced SLC7A5‐PGAM5 binding in macrophages,

Novel SCN5A mutation associated with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation due to subclinical Brugada syndrome

Cardiogenetics, 2011
Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation can be caused by subclinical channelopathies such as Brugada syndrome. Our objective is to study the clinical behaviour of a new SCN5A mutation found in a woman with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation.

Ventricular fibrillation during carotid endarterectomy and bailout stenting: a case report

JA Clinical Reports, 2022
Background Carotid artery manipulation is not a special technique but reports of intraoperative ventricular fibrillation are rare. The risk of fatal arrhythmias may be hidden behind routine surgical techniques and anesthetic management.

The Echocardiographic Findings in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation in a Tertiary Care Center of Nepal: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2021
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent supraventricular arrhythmia responsible for the large morbidity and mortality burden worldwide. There are various causes of atrial fibrillation that may affect the prognosis of patients.
