The objective of this article is to present a broad review of the role of cardiac electric rotors
and their accompanying spiral waves in the mechanism of cardiac fibrillation. At the outset …

Ventricular arrhythmias are a major cause of sudden death, which accounts for
approximately half of cardiac mortality. The His–Purkinje system is composed of specialized …

These guidelines contain recommendations for basic life support (BLS) and advanced life
support (ALS) for adult patients and are based on the best available resuscitation science …

Early afterdepolarizations (EADs) are an important cause of lethal ventricular arrhythmias in
long QT syndromes and heart failure, but the mechanisms by which EADs at the cellular …

How early (EADs) and delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) overcome electrotonic source-
sink mismatches in tissue to trigger premature ventricular complexes remains incompletely …

The cardiac electrical system is designed to ensure the appropriate rate and timing of
contraction in all regions of the heart, which are essential for effective cardiac function. Well …

In a normal human life span, the heart beats about 2–3 billion times. Under diseased
conditions, a heart may lose its normal rhythm and degenerate suddenly into much faster …

▪ Abstract Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the major immediate cause of sudden cardiac death.
Traditionally, VF has been defined as turbulent cardiac electrical activity, which implies a …

First introduced as a new clinical entity in 1992, the Brugada syndrome is associated with a
relatively high risk of sudden death in young adults, and occasionally in children and infants …

The synchronization of coupled oscillators plays an important role in many biological
systems, including the heart. In heart diseases, cardiac myocytes can exhibit abnormal …
