and remaining components of the cardiac conduction system. This provides us with a picture, although incomplete, of molecular compartmentalization and dissociation as suggested by Cx43 expression ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is considered a beneficial and disease-modifying treatment in appropriately selected heart failure (HF) patients. It reduces morbidity and mortality, reverses ...

Beginning with an overview of surgical approaches to the heart, the book goes on to discuss the surgical anatomy of the cardiac chambers, the valves, and the circulation and conduction system within ...

The impulse is then passed to another node within the heart – the atrioventricular node (AVN). This node is in the lower part of the right atrium.

These complications are caused by intrinsic defects in cardiomyocyte and cardiac conduction system function, and by the presence of severe skeletal muscle disease, which also contributes to ...
