All the myocytes within the heart have the capacity to conduct the cardiac impulse. A
population of myocytes is specialized so as to generate the cardiac impulse and then to …

It is now over 100years since the discovery of the cardiac conduction system, consisting of
three main parts, the sinus node, the atrioventricular node and the His–Purkinje system. The …

Supraventricular arrhythmias are common and patients are often symptomatic, requiring
management with drugs and electrophysiological procedures. The ESC published …

Organ-specific functions of tissue-resident macrophages in the steady-state heart are
unknown. Here, we show that cardiac macrophages facilitate electrical conduction through …

Rationale: Transmural dispersion of repolarization has been shown to play a role in the
genesis of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation in different animal models of heart failure …

BBB: bundle branch block bpm: beats per minute CI: confidence interval CL: cycle length
CTI: cavo-tricuspid isthmus DC: direct current ECG: electrocardiogram EPS …

Cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disturbances are accompanied by structural
remodelling of the specialised cardiomyocytes known collectively as the cardiac conduction …

Background—Several arrhythmogenic mechanisms have been inferred from animal heart
failure models. However, the translation of these hypotheses is difficult because of the lack …

Objectives: We sought to confirm our hypothesis that the human sinoatrial node (SAN) is
functionally insulated from the surrounding atrial myocardium except for several exit …

Objectives: This study sought to investigate markers of success following slow pathway
ablation for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT). Background: Published …
