Acute ischemia results in deadly cardiac arrhythmias that are a major contributor to sudden
cardiac death (SCD). The electrophysiological changes involved have been extensively …

The close relationship between life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and contractile
dysfunction in the heart implicates intracellular calcium cycling as an important underlying …

This Special Collection will gather all studies highlighting recent advances in theoretical and
experimental studies of arrhythmia, with a specific focus on research seeking to elucidate …

Abnormal intracellular Ca 2+ cycling plays a key role in cardiac dysfunction, particularly
during the setting of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). During ischemia, there is an increase in …

Despite recent advances in preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to cardiac
arrhythmia, its incidence in the population at large has remained unacceptably high. Better …

Cardiac arrhythmias have long been regarded as derangement of electrical impulse
initiation and conduction within the heart. However, underlying mechanisms for …

Despite improvements in the therapy of underlying heart disease, sudden cardiac death is a
major cause of death worldwide. Disturbed Na and Ca handling is known to be a major …
