A team of scientists led by Johns Hopkins cardiologist and biomedical engineer Hiroshi Ashikaga, MD, PhD, has developed a mathematical model to measure and digitally map the beat-sustaining electrical ...

It is still elusive to what extent interactions between different cell types of the heart influence the normal heart rhythm and possibly trigger life-threatening arrhythmias. A new measurement method ...

Find out can ecg detect heart attack progression and learn how an electrocardiogram test identifies immediate muscle damage or silent cardiac events.

Researchers have found that six proteins – five more than previously thought – are responsible for cell-to-cell communication that regulates the heart and plays a role in limiting the size of heart ...

Second-degree heart block is a potentially serious but treatable condition affecting the heart’s electrical system. Treatment may require a pacemaker to stabilize the heart’s rhythm. Electrical ...

Electrical problems in the heart can often lead to serious and fatal complications including complete heart block or heart failure. Left ventricular conduction disease occurs when there is an ...

Cardioversion is a procedure used to restore a normal heart rhythm. It’s most often used to treat AFib, the most common type of heart arrhythmia. While some people have success with medications, most ...

One possible treatment option for cardiac arrhythmias are approaches that enhance electrical excitability and action potential conduction in the heart. One way this could be done is by stably ...
