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 ...

Researchers have developed extended phase mapping, a corrected cardiac mapping technique that explicitly accounts for phase ...

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

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 ...

Research by Boston Children's validates an innovative approach to mapping the heart's invisible conduction tissue during surgery. Research data from separate studies show that using electrophysiology ...

Researchers have produced the most detailed and comprehensive human Heart Cell Atlas to date, including the specialized tissue of the cardiac conduction system -- where the heartbeat originates. In a ...

When patients with congenital heart issues have an operation, surgeons have to proceed with an "eye of faith" as they work around conduction tissue—a network of cells and electrical signals that ...

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 ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) measures taken after the first pig-to-human heart transplant found significantly different electrical conduction characteristics compared to those seen in native pig hearts ...
