Abstract

While the extrapolation of data derived from His bundle studies performed over the past 10 years has lessened the need to apply the technique for diagnostic clinical purposes, His bundle recordings remain a useful clinical research tool for better understanding of cardiac electrophysiology. Some of the areas of continued research to which the technique will most certainly be applied are: (1) study of reentrant phenomena involving the atrial, junctional, and ventricular regions of the heart, (2) investigation of the mechanisms of action of new and old drugs on the heart, (3) evaluation of effectiveness of drug treatment in resistant cardiac arrhythmias, and (4) understanding of complex arrhythmias.

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.
