Beside heart failure therapy, supportive arrhythmia management is recommended. Specific recommendations for arrhythmias as well as intracardiac defibrillator implantation in myocarditis do not exist and hence,
Clinical trial experience in treating arrhythmias ranging from ventricular tachycardia (VT) in structural heart disease (such as the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial [2]) to atrial fibrillation in patients largely without structural heart disease (such as the AFFIRM Trial [3]) has consistently ...
Adonis is used in heat-clearing and damp-drying (TRI 500, β 14), cardiac insufficiency (TRI 533, β 42), arrhythmia (TRI 514, β 28), dysentery (TRI 320, β 14), ulcer disease and sores (TRI 500, β 14) (Table 2.2), conjunctivitis (TRI 320, β 14), and vomiting (TRI 320,...
Given the enhanced automaticity mechanism for PSC-CM EAs, we hypothesized that suppressing the rate of graft automaticity below that of the native sinus node would reduce arrhythmia burden. Ivabradine, a selective inhibitor of the pacemaker current (If) responsible for CM automaticity, and amiodarone,...
SCA is caused by a dangerous heart rhythm that can stop the heart from beating. Knowing that abnormal types of tachycardia (fast heartbeat) can put you at risk of a dangerous medical condition like SCA can be scary. It’s important to learn about SCA so you, your loved ones, and your...
Cardiomegaly presents numerous symptoms such as arrhythmia, chest pain, and dizziness. The common trigger of this condition is elevated blood pressure and ischemic heart illnesses. Risk factors for cardiomegaly include obesity, alcohol use, and metabolic disorders....
The RNA decay pathway plays key regulatory roles in cell identities and differentiation processes. Although adipogenesis is transcriptionally and epigenetically regulated and has been thoroughly investigated, how RNA metabolism that contributes to the st
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, leading to increased risk of stroke, heart failure and dementia, as well as hospitalizations [1]. Despite the use of oral anticoagulation, there is still high residual risk of stroke, requiring an integrated care approach to its ...

Based on these findings, it is reasonable to propose that the primary intracellular target of flecainide in vivo is the RyR2-mediated countercurrent. Keywords: flecainide; antiarrhythmic drug; ryanodine receptor; countercurrent; arrhythmia; catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia...
