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 ...

Your heart has its own nervous system, a whole network of neurons. New research is shedding light on how it works.

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

Currently, there are only rough anatomical landmarks to help cardiac surgeons prevent accidental damage to the cardiac conduction system (CCS) – a network of cells that send signals to the heart to ...

When Will Goodyer, MD, PhD, was looking for a research project, his colleagues asked him to tackle a seemingly impossible task: Find a way for heart surgeons to see an invisible network of cells so ...

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 ...

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 ...

In a new study, published July 12 in Nature, researchers have produced the most detailed and comprehensive human Heart Cell Atlas to date, including the specialized tissue of the cardiac conduction ...

Discordant results from two trials comparing conduction system pacing with biventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) leave open the question of whether conduction system pacing ...

Patients with atrioventricular (AV) block who don’t have an indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) do better when treated with conduction-system pacing versus right ventricular septal ...

I suddenly feel my heart pounding...” “I’m worried because a health checkup pointed out an irregular pulse or arrhythmia.”Are ...
