What Is the Heart Conduction System? The heart conduction system is made up of cells, nodes, and signals that help your heart to beat. In fact, the cardiac conduction system is responsible for our ...

Heart rhythm problems occur when heart muscle cells fail to properly transmit electrical signals that coordinate blood pumping. Now, scientists at Duke University have devised a promising method to ...

Electrical problems in the heart can often lead to serious and fatal complications including complete heart block or heart failure. Left ventricular conduction disease occurs when there is an ...

These days having both a land line and a mobile phone seems like overkill. But Virginia Tech researchers have shown that the heart relies on at least two key communication channels to keep abnormal ...

This release is available in Chinese. New research indicates that a finding on a routine electrocardiogram that signals a disorder of the electrical conducting system in one part of the heart and ...

CINCINNATI, Ohio – We’ve all heard warnings about BPA, a chemical found in plastics and personal care products. Studies show that nearly 90% of Americans have detectable levels of BPA in their bodies.

During a severe heart attack many heart muscle cells die and are replaced by scar tissue to stabilize the heart wall. Connective tissue cells, known as fibroblasts (FB), are the dominant cell type in ...

New research explains how low levels of the electrolyte sodium in the blood can disrupt the timing of the heartbeat in patients taking widely used rhythm-control medications such as flecainide, which ...

Sept. 25 (UPI) --Researchers have succeeded in creating a digital twin that for the first time replicates the heart's electrical conduction system, which coordinates heartbeats, a new study says. The ...
