the regular recurrence of an action or function, as of the beat of the heart or the menstrual cycle. 8. the regular recurrence of particular phases, elements, etc.: the rhythm of the seasons. 9. the regular recurrence of related elements in a progression or other system of motion: the...
conduit- a passage (a pipe or tunnel) through which water or electric wires can pass; "the computers were connected through a system of conduits" Based on WordNet 3.0, Farlex clipart collection. © 2003-2012 Princeton University, Farlex Inc. ...
many of which are not captured in the pressure–volume plane. Therefore, additional assessments provide important incremental physiologic information about the cardiovascular system and should be more widely used. In particular, it should be recognized that: (1) comprehensive analyses...
For oxidative stress, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations in serum and cardiac tissue were deter- mined using the thiobarbituric acid method and meas- ured with the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system as previously described [23, 25]. Western blot analysis The ...
Autonomic nervous system disorders play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases. Regulating it is essential for preventing and treating acute ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Photothermal neuromodulation is a nonimplanted technique, but the response temperature ranges of transient recept...
14. The method of claim 6, wherein the value of the max AV interval is increased to 220 ms. 15. An implantable medical system with ventricular fusion prevention, comprising: means for providing a value for wait time, means for scheduling a ventricular pace; means for determining whether an...
The QRS duration in the ECG tracing has been well used as a prognostic indicator of the clinical effectiveness of synchronized BiV pacing14,33. The widening of QRS duration is clinically associated with worsening hemodynamics due to electrical blocks in the conduction system. In this study, the ...
In contrast, SCD accounts for the majority of CV deaths in dialysis patients and is probably less likely due to sudden coronary ischemia [5, 6]. More likely, arrhythmogenesis is triggered by re-entry pathways that are superimposed upon the usual ventricular conducting system by inter-myocardial...
A system for assisting the failing ventricle, which utilizes a single blood displacement chamber and a single cannula. The cannula is inserted into the failing ventricle cavity and is connected to a blood displacement actuator. The device produces blood displacement at a critical time for a critical...
Thus, ASIC currents in cardiomyocytes displayed similar electrophysiological property as that in nervous system. Local decrease in extracellular solution to pH 7.0 was sufficient to induce an ASIC-like SCieNTifiC ReportS | 7:44951 | DOI: 10.1038/srep44951 2 www.nature.com/scientificreports/ eaFn...
