The conduction system, also called the cardiac electrical system, helps the heart contract, thus pumping blood through the body. It is made up of several different parts, including a sinoatrial ...

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has released a groundbreaking consensus statement on conduction system pacing (CSP), marking a significant milestone in the evolution of pacing therapy.

The human cardiac conduction system, ... Glial cells are part of the nervous system and are traditionally found in the brain. They have been explored very little in the heart.

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 ...

Hyperlactataemia, hyperkalaemia and heart block in acute iron overload: the fatal role of the hepatic iron‐incorporation rate in rats on ferric citrate infusions, European Journal of Clinical ...

Charting eight regions of the human heart, the work describes 75 different cell states including the cells of the cardiac conduction system - the group of cells responsible for the heartbeat - not ...

For nearly 100 years, the circadian rhythm of resting heart rate has been attributed to the parasympathetic nervous system, especially the vagus nerve in humans, 4 which associates with “rest and ...

The heart conduction system is a pathway of cells, nodes, and electrical signals that controls when parts of the heart contract and relax, which creates a heartbeat.

DANVILLE, Pa. — Geisinger Health System's team of electrophysiologists is researching and implementing the latest techniques to treat patients with heart arrhythmia. "We've had many physicians ...

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

These impulses travel through the heart on conduction pathways, creating the contraction that pushes blood through the arteries. At rest, a heart typically beats 60–100 times per minute .
