The objective of this study was to determine whether arrhythmia in the setting of maternal cardiac disease (MCD) affects perinatal outcomes. This is a retrospective cohort study of pregnant women with ...

Philadelphia, August 3, 2020 - In a new study, investigators report that patients undergoing atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, who are physically fit before the procedure, have a much higher chance ...

A conserved glucagon signaling pathway links high-fat diet-induced metabolic imbalance to cardiac arrhythmia through hormone-producing cells and heart-innervating neurons that regulate rhythmicity.

A new artificial intelligence-based approach can predict if and when a patient could die of cardiac arrest. The technology, built on raw images of patient's diseased hearts and patient backgrounds, ...

A heart arrhythmia is when your heart beats too fast, too slow, or out of sync. Some arrhythmias can be genetic. A genetic arrhythmia happens when one or both of your parents pass down a gene change ...

Dangerously rapid heartbeat from the ventricles (ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation) can be life-threatening and result in sudden cardiac arrest. Take a holistic approach to understanding and ...

An arrhythmia (also termed cardiac dysrhythmia) is described as an irregular heartbeat caused by aberrant electrical activity in the heart. There are multiple categories of arrhythmia, each of which ...

The rhythms of life seem off. Can we restore a steady beat? Thumpa-thumpa, thumpa-thumpa, bump, thumpa, skip, thumpa-thump, pause … My heart wasn’t supposed to be beating like this. Way too fast, with ...

Arrhythmia, a disorder that impacts the typical beats of our heart, occurs when electrical impulses that regulate heartbeats don't function properly. It can manifest as bradycardia (slow heartbeat) or ...

Whether or not music stirs inside, each of us bears a living metronome at our core. It may tick at 40 or 100 beats per minute, in three-quarter time or in six-eight, erratically or like a Swiss clock.
