Perspectives and future trends in cellular electrophysiology: implications for the clinician

Journal of the American College of Cardiology

Abstract

As a result of single fiber electrophysiologic studies, the clinical approach to the electrical behavior of the heart has improved. Three areas are examined: 1) the electrocardiographic waveform, 2) normal and abnormal cardiac rhythms, and 3) the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic drugs. In each area, the results of single fiber studies have provided a conceptual framework for diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. These studies have also enabled investigators to test hypotheses formulated from clinical observations. It may be only a slight exaggeration to attribute many of our recent advances in each of the three areas to the development and use of the microelectrode.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.

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.

Cardiology Journals

Discover the latest cardiology research in this collection of the top cardiology journals.

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 Electrophysiology

Cardiac electrophysiology is the study of electrical activities of the heart and includes the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac events. Find the latest research on cardiac electrophysiology here.

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.

Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapies

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are used to prevent abnormal heart rhythms. These medications are used in conditions including, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Discover the latest research on anti-arrhythmic drug therapies here.
