Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) is when the heart has an extra electrical pathway, also called an accessory pathway. Because of this extra pathway, electrical signals in the heart avoid the normal ...

When blood returns to the heart, it follows a complicated pathway. If you were in the bloodstream, you would follow the steps below one by one. Oxygen-poor blood (shown in blue) flows from the ...

This indicates the electrical activity of sequentially activated heart chambers, 1 so demonstrating the functioning ... and the ventricular conduction pathway consisting of the bundle of His, the ...

Arrhythmias, in simple terms, are caused by faulty wiring. They occur when the electrical pathways that make each part of the heart beat in sequence develop short circuits or other irregularities, ...

Electricity in the heart runs through a very predictable pattern. Originating in the right atrium, the electrical impulse follows specialized electrical pathways in order to ensure that the heart ...

Pulseless electrical activity, or PEA, can cause cardiac arrest and occurs when any medical disorder causes severe hypotension during which the blood pressure drops critically low to the point ...

It has been found that electric shock may derange heart action causing ventricular fibrillation without ... Threshold fibrillating currents were determined for different conditions of pathway, ...

Doctors also use catheterization to diagnose heart rhythm problems. These specialized procedures are called electrophysiology (EP) studies. EP studies allow doctors to map the electrical pathways in ...

Furthermore, cardiac complications of electrical injuries have never been reported in South ... (online supplementary appendix table S1). The most common path of electricity was from arm to arm (for ...

Our previous studies have found that Pontin can induce the activity of the major downstream effector of the Hippo pathway YAP, which is known to play an essential role in mediating cardiac remodelling ...
