Left atrial appendage thrombosis in a patient with Friedreich Ataxia–related cardiomyopathy, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and atrial fibrillation

open access: yesSAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2021
Friedreich ataxia is the most common form of hereditary ataxia. Heart involvement in Friedreich ataxia is common and can include increased left ventricular wall thickness, atrial fibrillation, and in the later stages, a reduction of left ventricular ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Influence of cardiac tissue anisotropy on re-entrant activation in computational models of ventricular fibrillation

open access: yes, 2009
The aim of this study was to establish the role played by anisotropic diffusion in (i) the number of filaments and epicardial phase singularities that sustain ventricular fibrillation in the heart, (ii) the lifetimes of filaments and phase singularities,

Spontaneous termination of ventricular fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yesHeart, 2004
A 65 year old woman with hypertension and permanent atrial fibrillation had suffered two brief syncopal episodes. She was on losartan, digoxin, and aspirin. The ECG showed atrial fibrillation and incomplete left bundle branch block; the QT interval was 0.36 s and the QTc 0.414 s. The echocardiogram revealed mild dilatation and dysfunction of …

Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

Treatment of Electrical Storm with Amiodarone in Brugada Syndrome- an Unexpected Protective Effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We are reporting on a 53 year old man with proven Brugada syndrome and ICD implantation for resuscitation in context of polymorphic VT. After recurrent arrhythmia he was treated with Amiodarone.

Effectiveness and safety of combining thiazides with loop diuretics vs. loop diuretics monotherapy in patients with acute decompensated heart failure: A retrospective cohort study

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study investigated factors associated with and outcomes of combined loop diuretics with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Methods In this retrospective study, adults hospitalized for ADHF and who received intravenous loop diuretics between January 2016 and March 2023 were enrolled.

Modeling the Heart as a Communication System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Electrical communication between cardiomyocytes can be perturbed during arrhythmia, but these perturbations are not captured by conventional electrocardiographic metrics.

Neck‐vein thrombosis during spaceflight

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Spaceflight imposes unique environmental challenges, including weightlessness, increased radiation exposure and confinement, which can lead to unexpected health effects. One such example is neck‐vein thrombosis, a condition rarely seen on Earth without predisposing factors such as venous catheters or infections.
