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 ...

Scientists studying genetic data from nearly 50,000 people have uncovered several DNA sequence variations associated with the electrical impulses that make the heart beat. The findings may pave the ...

ECG aberrancy means the heartbeat does not follow the usual conduction system of the heart. Atrial fibrillation with ECG aberrancy means people have an irregular heart rhythm with abnormal conduction.

Researchers from UCL (University College London) and the ESRF (The European Synchrotron) have produced the first three-dimensional map of the heart's electrical wiring in Tetralogy of Fallot, one of ...

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 ...

Research by Boston Children's validates an innovative approach to mapping the heart's invisible conduction tissue during surgery. Research data from separate studies show that using electrophysiology ...

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide with current estimation of 17.3 million deaths per year and with an expected increase up to 23.6 million deaths by the year ...

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

BARCELONA, Spain—The European Heart Rhythm Society (EHRA) has released a new consensus statement on conduction system pacing (CSP), which includes both His-bundle and left bundle branch (LBB) pacing, ...

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 ...

Elevated resting heart rate is associated with greater risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. In a 2-stage meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in up to 181,171 individuals, we ...

For patients with heart failure, a reduced ejection fraction, and an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), using His-Purkinje conduction system pacing (HPCSP) is safe and feasible ...
