Experimental models of spontaneous ventricular arrhythmias and of sudden cardiac death

Abstract

Sudden cardiac death defined as natural death from cardiac causes occurring within one hour of the onset of acute symptoms is one of the most significant non-injury causes of death in the adult population of industrialised countries. The understanding of the mechanisms leading to sudden cardiac death is so far limited. Recently, a number of experimental animal models with high incidence of sudden cardiac death were developed and are intensively studied to get new insights into the sudden cardiac death mechanisms. In this review the animal models of sudden cardiac death are summarized and their principal properties shortly described.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.
