In cardiac patients, life‐threatening tachyarrhythmia is often precipitated by abnormal
changes in ventricular repolarization and refractoriness. Repolarization abnormalities …

QT interval prolongation is a known risk factor for development of malignant ventricular
arrhythmias. Measurement of the QT interval is difficult in the setting of ventricular pacing …

Methods The patients described below participated in a single-center clinical trial (SCS-
ICD), which was conducted from 2007 till 2011. The study was prematurely stopped owing to …

Introduction Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) maintains electrical and mechanical
synchronization of the ventricles. It is a relatively physiological pacing mode, with low and …

The anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab is an effective treatment for small lymphocytic
lymphoma; however, it has been associated with infusion reactions, including cardiac …

We sought to explore the distribution pattern of Na+ channels across ventricular wall, and to
determine its functional correlates, in the guinea pig heart. Voltage-dependent Na+ channel …

Background and objectives QRS duration (QRSd) and prolonged corrected QT interval
(QTc) are associated with ventricular arrhythmic events. This study was designed to …

Aims To determine the repolarization duration gradients in different ventricular regions at
atrial and ventricular pacing and to test the hypothesis that acute haemodynamic response …

Heart failure is associated with electrical remodeling of the electrical properties and kinetics
of the ion channels and transporters that are responsible for cardiac action potentials …

A decline in mortality due to pump failure has been clearly documented after cardiac
resynchronization therapy (CRT), however the impact on sudden cardiac death and the …
