Researchers have produced the most detailed and comprehensive human Heart Cell Atlas to date, including the specialized tissue of the cardiac conduction system -- where the heartbeat originates. In a ...

A study by scientists at deCODE genetics and collaborators in Denmark and the U.S., on the genetics of accessory conduction pathways in the heart (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome), reveals that ...

Ablation, a procedure to treat abnormal electrical short circuits caused by a heart attack and is usually reserved for patients who do not improve with medication, may be a better first-line treatment ...

A researcher at the University of Houston College of Pharmacy is reporting an effective protocol for reprogramming human heart cells into specialized cells that conduct electricity throughout the ...

In a new study, published today (12 July) in Nature, researchers have produced the most detailed and comprehensive human Heart Cell Atlas to date, including the specialized tissue of the cardiac ...

An analysis of SPRINT trial data may recast disorders of left ventricular (LV) conduction, usually considered something to manage after the fact, as preventable. The study points to hypertension as a ...

NEW ORLEANS -- Among patients with heart failure, conduction system pacing-guided cardiac resynchronization therapy was associated with improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ...

Cardiac physiologic pacing, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, is indicated in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or less, and either a ...

New research highlights postnatal regeneration limits and pathological remodeling of the cardiac conduction system after myocardial infarction, uncovering mechanisms behind clinical arrhythmogenesis ...

The muscular dystrophies are commonly associated with cardiovascular complications, including cardiomyopathy and cardiac arrhythmias. These complications are caused by intrinsic defects in ...
