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 ...

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 ...

Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is prevalent in 41.7% of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction ...

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 ...

During embryonic development, the right ventricle is formed from the secondary heart field into a crescent-shaped, thin-walled structure. 6 It is the most anterior heart chamber, sitting just beneath ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—In the SPRINT trial, patients who were treated to an intensive versus standard blood pressure goal had a lower risk of developing LV conduction disease, which hasn’t been considered ...

The QRSs are wider than and different from other QRSs, raising a possibility of PVC. But they are clearly preceded by a prematurely occurring P wave and so are PAC with aberrant conduction. Aberrant ...

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

The interventricular septum separates the heart’s two ventricles and plays a vital role in maintaining correct bloodflow. Sometimes a defect can occur or be present from birth. This can increase the ...

Magnesium plays a vital role in maintaining a steady heart rhythm by regulating electrolyte movement within heart tissues; deficiencies can increase the risk of arrhythmias. While not a primary ...
