INJURY to the invisible subendocardial conduction system during surgical closure of congenital defects in the ventricular septum is an uncommon but extremely grave complication. 1,2 Impalement of ...

Duplication or absence of parts of the specialized cardiac conduction system in patients with heterotaxy syndrome causes significant clinical disease, but the mechanistic basis by which embryonic ...

A ventricular septal defect (VSD) occurs when there is direct communication between the left and right ventricles. This can be a congenital anomaly or acquired as a complication of a myocardial ...

Research by Boston Children's validates an innovative approach to mapping the heart's invisible conduction tissue during ...

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 ...

Physiologic pacing of the His-Purkinje conduction system is feasible in patients who require a permanent pacemaker following TAVR and this alternative pacing method did not interfere with ejection ...

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

Heart conduction disorders can often lead to serious or fatal complications including complete heart block or heart failure. Left ventricular conduction disease occurs when there is an electrical ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Treatment with the ACE inhibitor lisinopril may lower the development of conduction-system disease in patients with hypertension and at least one cardiac risk factor, new research ...
